Hi Ray,

Process may vary slightly per county, however, the following has worked for us.  1.) Visit local municipal offices and head over to the clerk's office.  2.) Fill out an OPRA request (Formal request to release public records) with a specific description of what you want.  Our forms ask how you want the information delivered to you--we always check e-mail as it seems to be quickest.  3.)  Usually within a week we'll have the code violations in our e-mail.

Actually, after typing this just did a quick google search for Middlesex County OPRA.  Appears you have it even easier than we do:  http://www.middlesexcountynj.gov/Pages/OPRA.aspx

Hope this helps some.
