Phone Directory Rights in Linden

Your right to access the Linden phone directory comes from the New Jersey Open Public Records Act. Under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, government records must be readily available for inspection. This law covers phone lists, department rosters, and employee contact information for all city offices in Linden.

Certain records are available right away. Budgets, bills, vouchers, contracts, and salary data fall into the "immediate access" group. A phone directory that lists public employees by title and department number would typically be released quickly. For other records, the custodian has seven business days to respond. If the records are in storage, the custodian must tell you when they will be ready and what it will cost.

If Linden denies your request, you have options. You can file a complaint with the Government Records Council at no cost. The GRC can order the city to release the records. Under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-11, agencies face fines of $1,000 for a first violation, $2,500 for a second, and $5,000 for a third within ten years. You can also go to court and recover attorney fees if you win under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6.
