Research routes
16 areasNew Jersey
Montclair · Essex County
Start with Montclair's property portal, then separate a municipal permit search from an NJDEP environmental file search.
View sources & request stepsMaplewood · Essex County
Maplewood specifically lists oil tank removal certificates among requestable records. Locate the certificate and compare it with the permit history.
View sources & request stepsSummit · Union County
Summit links building permits before its non-police records request portal. Use that two-stage route to identify and retrieve the underlying file.
View sources & request stepsWayne · Passaic County
Wayne distinguishes self-service searches, property maps, and an OPRA fallback. Research follows that sequence before escalating missing tank paperwork.
View sources & request stepsRidgewood · Bergen County
Start by separating the assessor property card from the construction file. Ridgewood directs property-card requests through the Village Clerk.
View sources & request stepsLivingston · Essex County
Livingston names a Construction Permit Summary Report as the building-record starting point. Use its references to pursue the actual tank paperwork.
View sources & request stepsMillburn / Short Hills · Essex County
Millburn separates SDL building-permit lookup from its NextRequest records workflow. Research connects a permit reference to the documents behind it.
View sources & request stepsWest Orange · Essex County
Use the Township's municipal records form for a bounded document request, rather than confusing police records with a construction file.
View sources & request stepsNew York
Nassau County
Nassau has a small heating-oil tank closure route distinct from bulk-storage research. Choosing the right system matters more than searching every database.
View sources & request stepsSuffolk County
Prepare the full tax-map identifier for Suffolk's Health Department record search, and keep town or village permits separate from county-held records.
View sources & request stepsWestchester County
Distinguish a historic petroleum-storage map from a current property file. Use tank and permit identifiers to pursue the documents behind a closure claim.
View sources & request stepsNew York City · Five boroughs
NYC tank research crosses DOB's older and newer filing systems and FDNY's tank-specific reports. One building search is not the whole record.
View sources & request stepsHuntington · Suffolk County
Huntington routes FOIL by department. Prepare the tax-map number and distinguish building paperwork from a county Health Department search.
View sources & request stepsBrookhaven · Suffolk County
Brookhaven offers a building property-document research route and a separate FOIL process. County Health and state DEC records are not Town-held files.
View sources & request stepsIslip · Suffolk County
Islip separates Building Department records from other FOIL documents. Choose the correct branch before requesting tank-related paperwork.
View sources & request stepsOyster Bay · Nassau County
Keep Oyster Bay's Town Clerk records request separate from Nassau's small heating-oil tank verification letter. The two routes answer different parts of the history.
