My File:
The People Of The Village Of Piermont, New York adv.
Francis Steven (Frank) DeCarlo and FDC Contracting Co., Inc.

Dear Acting Director Fais, and Colleagues:

I am an attorney in New York. I am a citizen and resident of the Town of Orangetown, and the County of Rockland.

Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), P.L. 2001, c. 404, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.:
http://www.state.nj.us/opra/
https://www.nfoic.org/new-jersey-sample-foia-request
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Public_Records_Act
and, as may be applicable, its and their state, federal, and other counterparts, request is hereby made that your office provide to this, my law office, full and complete copies of each and every document and other item of material (collectively, “Records”) which may be at all responsive to the following requests:

1. Francis Steven (Frank) DeCarlo. All Records relating to an individual known as “Francis Steven (Frank) DeCarlo”, commonly known as “Frank DeCarlo”- apparently of Cresskill, New Jersey; River Vale, New Jersey; and Alpine, New Jersey. The many addresses to which Mister DeCarlo is linked on the Internet and in the public record, are set forth at Exhibit “A” hereinbelow.

Mister DeCarlo was apparently born in June of 1967 and is of the age of 56 years old.

For further identification purposes, Mister DeCarlo’s quite unusual Instagram social media page, at which he publicly urges all of us to “Work hard… play hard mofos!”[sic], is found here:
https://www.instagram.com/frank_decarlo/

On his same Instagram social media page, Mister DeCarlo links us to a defunct Internet website incorporating the name of an apparently-related business, as follows:
www.fdcdevelopment.com

Other names by which Mister DeCarlo may be known, including possible misspellings, are as follows:

Frank De Carlo
Francis De Carlo
Frank Decarlo
Francis S. Decarlo Jr.
Frank A. Decarlo Jr.
Franc S. Decarlo
Frank S. Decarlo
Francis S. Decarlow Jr.
Frank Delarlo Jr.
Frank Dicarlo
Frank Di Carlo
Frank DiCarlo

2. FDC Contracting Co., Inc. Additionally, I am hereby requesting all Records relating to Mister DeCarlo’s company, “FDC Contracting Co., Inc.” alias “FDC Contracting” alias “FDC Development”. Frank DeCarlo is indicated on his own LinkedIn social media page as “President” of “FDC Contracting Co., Inc.”:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-decarlo-8a585078/

Mister DeCarlo is listed as “Principal” of “FDC Contracting Co., Inc.” at these Internet websites and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) here:
https://www.thebluebook.com/iProView/1667188/fdc-contracting-co-inc/general-contractors/locations-contacts/

https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.fdc_contracting_co_inc.2b8768ab37e41a900ab849e1c90e6db7.html

https://www.buzzfile.com/business/Fdc-Contracting-Co-Inc-201-569-3864

According to FDC Contracting Co., Inc.’s Internet website located at:
www.fdccontracting.com
… the company is located at:

FDC Contracting Co., Inc.
145 Stonegate Trail
Cresskill, NJ 07626 USA

An additional address for the company is apparently as follows:

FDC Contracting Co., Inc.
338 Lafayette Street
Cresskill, NJ 07626 USA

The company’s phone number is indicated as 201-569-3864. The many other phone numbers linked to Mister DeCarlo and FDC Contracting Co., Inc. on the Internet and in the public record, are found at Exhibit “B” hereinbelow.

The e-mail addresses linked to Mister DeCarlo and FDC Contracting Co., Inc. on the Internet and in the public record, are found at Exhibit “C” hereinbelow.

3. Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company. Additionally, I am hereby requesting all Records relating to “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company”, another entity with which Mr. DeCarlo is associated, and for which Mr. DeCarlo is now listed as a “Member”, “Officer”, and “Director”:
https://unhandpiermont.blogspot.com/2024/05/frank-decarlo-and-craig-weis-purge.html
The citizens of Piermont, New York and Rockland County, New York oppose Mister DeCarlo's activities in connection with “Piermont Developers Limited Liability Company”. Mister DeCarlo's LLC currently seeks to place an abhorrent residential monstrosity directly in the center of a historic Hudson River Valley village - while paving over a former Sunoco gasoline station that had underground gasoline tanks - and thereby further flooding-out a village already flooded-out due to over-development and tainted small-time local government.

4. General Contractor Status, And Documents.
Mister DeCarlo is listed as a “General Contractor” on these following Internet websites and URLs:
https://www.yelp.com/biz/decarlo-frank-cresskill

https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/fdc-contracting-co-inc-pfvwus-pf~1544254593

Accordingly, I am hereby requesting, in each case to the extent as may be existing:

-All Records reflecting any General Contractor licensure for Frank DeCarlo.

5. Headings. The headings for numbered Items #1 through #8 herein are for purposes of your convenience of reference only, and should not be construed to be words of limitation or otherwise of any substantive significance relative to this OPRA request.

6. Costs. If there are any copying or other fees for this, please let me know what they are and how they are calculated, before fulfilling the request and forwarding the Records to me. As this OPRA request should be considered a matter of public importance, and as its results will be shared with the general public, I am asking that any otherwise-applicable fees be waived for this production of Records. I am also asking that all Records be provided to me electronically to the full extent possible, so as to obviate the need for any photocopying expense.

7. Appeals. In the event that any portion of my request is denied, please inform me of each of the specific reasons for any such denial in writing - and provide me with the name, address, and other contact information of the person or entity to whom an appeal should be directed.

8. Additional OPRA Requests. This OPRA request is not intended to be exhaustive, and I may need to make additional or follow-up requests.

I will appreciate a response from you and your office as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Respectfully, and with thanks,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.
