Before you search

Start with the right identifiers.

Street address, block and lot, claimed work year, and any contractor or permit reference. Confirm the property is in the Village of Ridgewood.

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

Request the property card through the Clerk

The Assessor directs property-record-card requests to the Village Clerk via OPRA. Use the card to match the parcel, retaining the address and parcel reference with your notes; it is not a tank-removal certificate.

Name the construction documents separately

The Village residents directory links its records-request route separately from applying for a building permit. Our research request names existing tank permits, final inspections, and completion attachments, rather than applying for new work.

Follow environmental references separately

If the returned municipal file identifies a state case, retain that reference and pursue the state-held documents. Keep an unavailable construction file separate from an environmental search that has not yet been made.

Make the request specific

A ready-to-adapt outline.

Please provide the property record card and existing tank-related construction permits, final inspections, and completion attachments for [address; block/lot], [date range]. Please identify the custodian for any category not held by your office.

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.

This is a Clerk-led research plan, not a verified online tank inventory. A property card or missing permit cannot establish present tank absence.
