This case was presented to the Board on December 10, 2024, where a Notice of Determination and Request for Hearing was approved. A copy of this Notice along with the summons for the record property owners was served on the property owners’ representative by the Monmouth County, New Jersey Sheriff’s Office.
Due to a noticing issue with the legal advertisement, the item was pulled from the February 11, 2025 Board hearing agenda and is being brought back for recertification of the Declaration of Public Nuisance.
