Target the Fire Department's tank-status record, then request the existing inspection file through the City Clerk's FOIL route.
Official links open the agency site. No records request is submitted from this page.
Before you search
Property address, section/block/lot if known, approximate removal year, contractor and any Fire or Building reference.
Bring what you have. Missing identifiers can be part of the route review.New Rochelle Fire's Code Enforcement page specifically describes documenting tank status during oil tank removal inspections. Request that existing inspection/tank-status record, not just the tax card or permission for new work. Our research target is the document supporting the removal claim.
Official sourceNew Rochelle Fire tank-removal inspections↗The City Clerk is the Records Access Officer. Its FOIL page links the online application and explains departmental distribution. Identify Fire Department tank removal inspection records and any separate Building permit/completion attachments. Retain the request reference and delivered files separately.
Official sourceNew Rochelle FOIL instructions↗A City inspection file is not the NYSDEC spill file. If papers identify a spill number, use that reference to obtain the state reports and correspondence. Compare property, tank location and work dates before joining the two histories; a county or state result does not replace the City inspection document.

Fire's tank-removal inspection/tank-status record, with Building and environmental records separately identified.
Compare property, tank description, inspection date and the action actually documented.
Still missing? A Building index result is not the Fire tank-status record; specify that record in the Clerk's request.
List any Building permit and DEC spill number alongside the actual files received.
Still missing? One department's reply does not establish that all other records were searched.
Comparison checklist by Oil Tank Route, based on the official routes above. Not an agency certification, document authentication or a property-safety finding.
New Rochelle Fire describes documenting tank status during oil tank removal inspections. That makes its inspection record a specific target—not a guarantee that a record exists for every historic removal.
Your private record worksheet
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 Department oil tank removal inspection/tank-status record and associated City Building attachments. Narrow this to the files you still need.
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.
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.
Optional human research is available for NJ/NY, subject to intake review. The worksheet is separate and is not attached automatically.

The Fire page describes a record category, not guaranteed historic coverage or a contamination clearance. A City no-record reply is limited to the files searched. Westchester and DEC records remain separate where applicable.
