Greenwich oil tank records: Fire FOIA & Building permits

Before you search

Start with the right identifiers.

Greenwich property address, parcel if known, approximate work date, removal versus abandonment method and Fire/Building permit references.

Bring what you have. Missing identifiers can be part of the route review.

What you are looking for: The Fire report and retained lab/location attachments, with the Building method/permit matched separately.
If the result is empty or incomplete: Ask for the precise Fire-held attachment and inspect the Building work method. Use DEEP for the separately identified environmental case. Adapt the request outline ↓

Use Fire's oil-tank information route

The Fire Marshal's Division page links a FOIA request for oil tank information under Underground Tank Removal. Use that existing-record route and describe the property, work year and needed report. Do not confuse a request for the historic Fire file with an appointment to approve new tank work.

Check the separate Building work description

Greenwich Building publishes removal/abandonment permit instructions that distinguish work methods. Its resident property resources link City Squared permit history. Compare the actual method and permit reference; a Building application, Fire report and completed removal are different evidence stages.

Name the report's missing attachments

Greenwich Fire's tank FAQs describe a removal-company report with soil-analysis and location-drawing attachments. Ask which existing parts are retained for the subject work, without assuming they were filed. If the documents cite a spill or DEEP case, pursue that state file separately and keep its closure scope distinct.

After the search

What should you actually come away with?

The Fire report and retained lab/location attachments, with the Building method/permit matched separately.

Work method

Compare removal, temporary out-of-service and abandonment wording.

Still missing? Do not turn an ambiguous method into proof the tank left the property.

Report attachments

List the lab analysis and tank-location drawing actually received.

Still missing? The filing instructions are not the property's report or its missing attachments.

Comparison checklist by Oil Tank Route, based on the official routes above. Not an agency certification, document authentication or a property-safety finding.

Before you interpret the result

Why check both Fire and Building?

Greenwich supplies an oil-tank information route through Fire and a separate Building permit-history route. Match the work and documents without treating one office's reply as both searches.

Your private record worksheet

Keep the next step clear.

Prepare search keys here, open the official sources above, then record what happened. Nothing is searched or sent automatically. A postal city or ZIP does not establish legal jurisdiction.

Suggested document scope for this route: the Fire oil tank removal or abandonment report and retained laboratory analysis and tank-location drawing. Narrow this to the files you still need.

Your next actions

Start with the identifiers and first applicable source. An online blank, an inaccessible portal and an agency no-record reply are three different outcomes.

No result is not proof of no tank. A candidate document still needs its property, issuer, dates and stated scope checked.

Prepared request draft

Review and edit bracketed fields after copying. Use the agency’s current official form, disclosures and fee instructions. Drafted ≠ sent ≠ acknowledged ≠ delivered.

Default: this tab’s session only. Device saving is optional; avoid it on shared devices. No property details enter the page URL or analytics.

Self-service guidance only here. Human research assistance is currently limited to New Jersey and New York.

Make the request specific

A ready-to-adapt outline.

Please provide existing Fire oil tank removal/abandonment reports and retained laboratory/site-drawing attachments for [address], [dates], reference [number]. Please distinguish the Fire file from the associated Building permit and identify any missing record category.

Replace the bracketed fields and follow the agency’s current form, disclosure, and fee instructions. This is a draft, not a sent request.

Keep the limits visible.

Published filing instructions do not establish that a report exists for this property. Fire, Building and DEEP custody differ. Connecticut guidance is self-service only.
