Section 40A:12A-6 of the LRHL outlines the process by which a potential redevelopment area is investigated and designated: 1. No area of a municipality shall be determined a redevelopment area unless the governing body of the municipality shall, by resolution, authorize the planning board to undertake a preliminary investigation to determine whether the proposed area is a redevelopment area according to the criteria set forth at N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5. 2. The governing body of a municipality shall assign the conduct of the investigation and hearing to the planning board of the municipality. 3. The resolution authorizing the planning board to undertake a preliminary investigation shall state whether the redevelopment area determination shall be a “Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area”, which shall authorize all the powers provided in the LRHL except the use of eminent domain, or whether the redevelopment area determination shall authorize the use of eminent domain, a “Condemnation Redevelopment Area.” 4. Before proceeding to a public hearing on the matter, the planning board shall prepare a map showing the boundaries of the proposed redevelopment area and the location of the various parcels of property included therein. There shall be appended to the map a statement setting forth the basis for the investigation. 5. After completing its hearing on the matter, the planning board shall recommend that the delineated area, or any part thereof, be determined, or not be determined, by the municipal governing body to be a redevelopment area. 6. After receiving the recommendation of the planning board, the municipal governing body may adopt a resolution determining that the delineated area, or any part thereof, is a redevelopment area. The East Orange City Council adopted resolution I-244 on July 14, 2025, directing the Planning Board to conduct a non-condemnation area in need of redevelopment investigation of Block 820, Lot 9 (50 E. Park Street) and Block 820, Lot 10 (46 E. Park St.). The Council adopted Resolution I-282 on September 15, 2025, directing the Planning Board to conduct a non-condemnation area in need of redevelopment investigation of Block 174, Lot 24 (102 north Maple Avenue); Block 174, Lot 18.01 (122 North Maple Avenue); Block 462, Lot 34 (543 South Clinton Street); Block 492, Lot 29 (17 Amherst Street); Block 492, Lot 27 (223 Amherst Street); Block 882, Lot 27 (340 Dodd Street); and 171-173 North Park Street (Block 901, Lot 1) – see Appendix A for both resolutions.� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Figure 1 provides a location map showing the parcels that comprise the boundaries of the proposed redevelopment area (the “Study Area”.) The balance of this report constitutes the “statement setting forth the basis for the investigation.” Study Area and Location The Study Area consists of nine tax lots scattered throughout East Orange. Seven of the properties are owned by the City of East Orange, of which four are vacant and three are developed with dilapidated structures that are uninhabitable. The other two privately owned properties are side-by-side on East Park Street.

The properties in the Study Area are distributed throughout the city and located in different neighborhoods. Properties 1 and 2 are located in a residential area on the east side of North Maple Avenue just north of the interchange between I-280 and the Parkway. Property 3 is on a residential block the southernmost part of the city, just north of the municipal boundary with the Vailsburg neighborhood of Newark. Properties 4 and 5 are similar lots in a residential area on the west side of Amherst Street just south of the Central Avenue commercial / mixed-use district in the city’s southwest quadrant. Properties 6, 7, 8, and 9 on East Park Street and Dodd Street are in the city’s northwest quadrant near the municipal borders with the City of Orange Township and the Borough of Glen Ridge. Dodd Street has a mixed residential and commercial character, while East Park Street is more residential in character.� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Figure 1 - Study Area Aerial Map� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Criteria for Redevelopment Area Determination Section 5 of the LRHL states that “A delineated area may be determined to be in need of redevelopment if, after investigation, notice and hearing, the governing body of the municipality by resolution concludes that within the delineated area any of the following conditions is found: a. The generality of buildings are substandard, unsafe, unsanitary, dilapidated, or obsolescent, or possess any of such characteristics, or are so lacking in light, air, or space, as to be conducive to unwholesome living or working conditions. b. The discontinuance of the use of a building or buildings previously used for commercial, retail, shopping malls or plazas, office parks, manufacturing, or industrial purposes; the abandonment of such building or buildings; significant vacancies of such building or buildings for at least two consecutive years; or the same being allowed to fall into so great a state of disrepair as to be untenantable. c. Land that is owned by the municipality, the county, a local housing authority, redevelopment agency or redevelopment entity, or unimproved vacant land that has remained so for a period of ten years prior to adoption of the resolution, and that by reason of its location, remoteness, lack of means of access to developed sections or portions of the municipality, or topography, or nature of the soil, is not likely to be developed through the instrumentality of private capital. d. Areas with buildings or improvements which, by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, excessive land coverage, deleterious land use or obsolete layout, or any combination of these or other factors, are detrimental to the safety, health, morals, or welfare of the community. e. A growing lack or total lack of proper utilization of areas caused by the condition of the title, diverse ownership of the real properties therein or other similar conditions which impede land assemblage or discourage the undertaking of improvements, resulting in a stagnant and unproductive condition of land potentially useful and valuable for contributing to and serving the public health, safety and welfare, which condition is presumed to be having a negative social or economic impact or otherwise being detrimental to the safety, health, morals, or welfare of the surrounding area or the community in general. f. Areas, in excess of five contiguous acres, whereon buildings or improvements have been destroyed, consumed by fire, demolished or altered by the action of storm, fire, cyclone, tornado, earthquake or other casualty in such a way that the aggregate assessed value of the area has been materially depreciated. g. In any municipality in which an enterprise zone has been designated pursuant to the "New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zones Act," P.L.1983, c.303 (C.52:27H-60 et seq.) the execution of the actions � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 prescribed in that act for the adoption by the municipality and approval by the New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone Authority of the zone development plan for the area of the enterprise zone shall be considered sufficient for the determination that the area is in need of redevelopment pursuant to sections 5 and 6 of P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-5 and 40A:12A-6) for the purpose of granting tax exemptions within the enterprise zone district pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1991, c.431 (C.40A:20- 1 et seq.) or the adoption of a tax abatement and exemption ordinance pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1991, c.441 (C.40A:21-1 et seq.). The municipality shall not utilize any other redevelopment powers within the urban enterprise zone unless the municipal governing body and planning board have also taken the actions and fulfilled the requirements prescribed in P.L.1992, c.79 (C.40A:12A-1 et al.) for determining that the area is in need of redevelopment or an area in need of rehabilitation and the municipal governing body has adopted a redevelopment plan ordinance including the area of the enterprise zone. h. The designation of the delineated area is consistent with smart growth planning principles adopted pursuant to law or regulation.” In addition to the eight criteria defined in N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5, the definition of “Redevelopment area” Section 3 of the LRHL includes language that permits the inclusion of parcels that do not meet one of the criteria if they are necessary for the effective redevelopment of the area, stating: “A redevelopment area may include lands, buildings, or improvements which of themselves are not detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, but the inclusion of which is found necessary, with or without change in their condition, for the effective redevelopment of the area in which they are a part.” Evaluation of the Study Area Properties 1 and 2 – Block 174, Lots 18.01 and 24 – 122 and 102 North Maple Avenue Block 174, Lots 18.01 and 24 are located at 122 and 102 North Maple Avenue, on the east side of the street. The properties are just east of the Garden State Parkway. North Maple Avenue ends at the next block south when it reaches the NJ Transit Train Tracks and Interstate 280 interchange. The properties are in the R-2 Zone, which permits one- and two-family residential uses. The development pattern is consistent through the block of similarly sized lots developed with 2-3 story residential buildings. Lot 18.01 is 30’ x 163’ or approximately 4,890 square feet in area and Lot 24 is 28 x 158 or approximately 4,424 square feet in area.� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 Figure 2 - Aerial location map Block 174, lots 18.01 and 24 Figure 3 - Google Earth Image 122 North Maple Figure 4 - Google Earth Image 102 North Maple� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 Site Visit A site visit was conducted on October 17, 2025 to review the exterior conditions of the structures at 122 and 102 North Maple Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood context. Both structures were observed to be dilapidated and in poor condition. The buildings are at least partially boarded up and there are broken siding, broken windows, broken masonry steps, damaged roofs and soffits, and other significant evidence of dilapidation and detrimental conditions.

They were acquired by the city via the same foreclosure action in 2020 after liens had been placed on them as a result of unpaid property taxes. The Google Streetview images below show the property conditions in October 2020, approximately eight months after the city acquired the properties. The exterior conditions five years ago are similar to those observed today. The buildings have not been improved and the conditions have continued to deteriorate. � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 Figure 5 - 122 North Maple Ave, Google Streetview (October 2020) Figure 6 - 102 North Maple Ave, Google Streetview (October 2020) City Records A request was made for records over the last five years from the following city departments: planning and zoning, housing and inspections, building, police, fire, and tax collector.

The properties are vacant and boarded up and clearly dilapidated and unsafe, which creates unwholesome living conditions and a blighting influence on the block. The pictures taken during the site visit, which corroborate the city’s records that the properties are vacant and abandoned, along with the street view images from 2020 showing nearly the same conditions, provide substantial evidence that the properties meet criteria “a.” Property 3 – Block 462, Lot 34 – 543 South Clinton Street Block 462, Lot 34, known as 543 South Clinton Street is a 3,500 square foot lot on the west side of the street in the southern portion of East Orange. The municipal boundary with Newark is within several hundred feet of the property. South Orange Avenue, a mixed-use corridor and major east-west thoroughfare through this portion of Essex County is at the end of the block to the south. The property is in the R-2 Zone, which permits one- and two-family residences. Most of the development on the block, until crossing into Newark, follows a similar residential development pattern.� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 Figure 7 - Aerial location map Block 462, Lot 34 Figure 8 - Google Earth Aerial image 543 S.

It was acquired by the city via the same foreclosure action as the properties on North Maple Street in 2020 after liens had been placed on the property as a result of unpaid property taxes. The Google Streetview image below shows the property conditions in November 2020, approximately nine months after the city acquired the property. The exterior conditions five years ago are similar to those observed today, with some of the same damage to the roofline visible.

The property is vacant and boarded up and clearly dilapidated and unsafe, which creates unwholesome living conditions and a blighting influence on the block. The pictures taken during the site visit, which corroborate the city’s records that the properties are vacant and abandoned, along with the street view images from 2020 showing nearly the same conditions, provide substantial evidence that the properties meet criteria “a.” In addition, there have been a litany of property maintenance complaints and violations that are directly driven by the lack of care and attention paid to the property in its vacant and uninhabitable state. Properties 4 and 5 – Block 492, Lots 27 and 29 – 223 and 217 Amherst Street Block 492, Lot 27 known as 223 Amherst Street, and Lot 29, known as 217 Amherst Street, are 30’ x 100’, 3,000 square foot lots on the west side of Amherst Street. The municipal boundary with Newark is within several hundred feet of the property. South Orange Avenue, a mixed-use corridor and major east-west thoroughfare through this portion of Essex County is at the end of the block to the south.

Both lots were observed to be vacant. Both lots have chain link fences along their frontage, but neither is truly secure. The fencing is damaged and overgrown and there is evidence of encroachment onto Lot 27 by the neighboring property, and accumulation of debris and refuse on both properties and along the street frontage. The following images provide substantial evidence documenting the conditions:� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 223 Amherst Street – Block 492, Lot 27 � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23 217 Amherst Street – Block 492, Lot 29 � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 Property Background Both lots are owned by the City of East Orange. Lot 29 was acquired in 2018, and Lot 27 was acquired in 2010 both via foreclosure after tax delinquencies. The only street view image of the properties available is from 2007. At that time, Lot 27 was vacant and in substantially the same condition as it is today nearly twenty � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25 years later. Lot 29 had the remnants of a fire damaged structure on it, which was demolished in 2009, ultimately leading to the property’s vacant state that exists today. Figure 12 - 223 Amherst (Left) and 217 Amherst (Right) Street, Google Streetview (October 2007) City Records A request was made for records over the last five years from the following city departments: planning and zoning, housing and inspections, building, police, fire, and tax collector. The following records associated with the property were provided, and are included in the appendices to this report: 223 Amherst Street – Block 492, Lot 27 • Housing and Inspections Complaints o 5/20/20 – Overgrowth, rodent infestation 217 Amherst Street – Block 492, Lot 29 • Zoning Permits o 12/29/20 – Zoning approval for a new 2-family (ZP-20-00277) Criteria Analysis Both properties are owned by the City of East Orange and have been vacant for a substantial period of time. The city acquired both properties after they fell into tax delinquency and aside from a zoning permit for a new two-family dwelling in 2020, there has not been any movement to improve the properties. City ownership of isolated lots in the R-2 zone is a factor that is discouraging improvement. In addition, the properties are undersized in the R-2 zone, which creates some hardship as to their development. The properties meet � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26 criterion “c” by virtue of both the public ownership and long-term vacancy along with the undersized nature of the properties creating a condition that inhibits private investment. The lots represent a drain on the city’s resources because they are not contributing productively to the tax roll while requiring the expenditure of resources on upkeep and maintenance. The properties are an attractive nuisance for littering and dumping, as evidenced by the refuse on and in front of the properties, including an abandoned shopping cart. There is also evidence from site visit observations and aerial images that the neighbor to the north of Lot 27 is occupying a portion of the property for parking / storage. As a result of these factors, both properties can be designated under criterion “e”. The public ownership of these vacant, isolated, residential lots is a factor that prevents them from being improved. The condition of the properties is stagnant, unproductive, has a negative economic impact by draining the city’s resources without contributing to the tax base, and has a negative social impact by accumulating litter and overgrowth in a residential neighborhood. Properties 6 and 7 – Block 820, Lots 10 and 9 – 46 East Park Street and 50 East Park Street Block 820, Lot 10, known as 46 East Park Street and Block 820, Lot 9, known as 50 East Park Street are residential lots on the north side of East Park Street in the R-2 Zone. Lot 10 is an approximately 0.9 acre lot with 100 feet of frontage on East Park Street, developed with a single-family residence that has substantial undeveloped yard area to the rear. Lot 9 is a 100’ x 256’, 25,600 square foot property developed with a single￾family residence. The lots to the west and south across East Park Street are developed with garden apartment complexes, while the lots to the east have a similar large lot residential development pattern, and the lots to the north are narrower residential lots typical of the R-2 zone. The municipal boundary with the City of Orange Township is nearby to the west. � Figure 13 - Aerial Location Map Block 820, Lots 10 and 9 Figure 14 - Google Earth aerial image, 46 and 50 East Park Street Property Background 46 East Park Street (Lot 10) was acquired by its present owner in 2022 after having been in foreclosure in 2019 and having a history of tax liens prior to that. The conditions of the property are not appreciable different today than in various available street view images from the past decade. 50 East Park Street (Lot 9) has been owned by the current owner for several decades. � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 Both lots were previously reviewed by the Planning Board as part of a redevelopment investigation in April 2025. At that time, the Board did not recommend the designation of the properties as an area in need of redevelopment. Additional city records referenced in this report indicate several maintenance related issues that are signs of dilapidation of the property and structure, that will continue to create unwholesome and unsafe conditions and lead to further blight of the property if unabated. On August 14, 2025, the owner / occupant of 50 Park Place, Ms. Doreen Fields, sent a letter to Alycia Cohen, the Director of Policy, Planning & Development for the City of East Orange. The letter explained that Ms. Fields is not able to afford the repairs and upkeep associated with her property. Site Visit A site visit was conducted on October 17, 2025 to review the exterior conditions of the structures on East Park Street and the surrounding neighborhood context. Both dwellings showed signs of physical deterioration. Roof, soffit, and siding damage were observed on Lot 10. The detached garage behind the residence on Lot 10 is collapsing. The fencing between the properties is damaged and falling. Several cars, which did not appear to have moved in many months based on the dirt on the windshields and overgrowth surrounding them were observed on Lot 9. Deferred maintenance issues for both properties were evident.

The following records associated with the property were provided, and are included in the appendices to this report: 46 East Park Street – Block 820, Lot 10 • Housing and Inspection Complaints o 5/31/21 - Damaged sidewalk, beehive, overgrowth o 1/13/22 - leaves and garbage o 1/6/23 - abandoned cars in rear, fence in disrepair o 8/24/23 - overgrowth, infestation, unroadworthy vehicles o 1/10/24 - garbage, litter, debris o 1/22/25 - vacant and abandoned, racoon infestation causing health and safety concerns • Housing and Inspection Violations o 5/31/21 – Remove bee hive, top left of building o 5/31/21 – Remove all overgrowth and maintain o 5/31/21 – Repair or replace damaged sidewalk o 1/24/23 – Remove all unregistered / unlicensed vehicles o 1/24/23 – Remove garbage and debris o 1/10/24 – Remove all garbage, litter, and debris o 1/10/24 – Remove all unregistered and unroadworthy vehicles o 7/25/25 – Remove all unregistered / unroadworthy vehicles o 7/25/25 – Make free of all garbage and debris o 7/25/25 – Make free of overgrowth • Police Records o Parking violation complaints x10 50 East Park Street – Block 820, Lot 9 • Housing and Inspection Complaints o 1/13/22 – Leaves and garbage around exterior o 1/10/24 – exterior violations • Housing and Inspection Violations o 1/24/24 – Remove all garbage, litter, and debris o 1/24/24 – Repair or replace damaged fence o 1/24/24 – Resurface or refinish entire deck o 1/24/24 – Scrape and paint window frames� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 o 1/24/24 – Scrape and paint chimney • Police Records o Parking violations and motor vehicle stops, 30+ Criteria Analysis Both properties can be designated in need of redevelopment based on criteria “a”. There is a pattern of violations for 46 East Park Street that reflects serious property maintenance issues, and the exterior of both the principal structure and accessory garage show signs of dilapidation and disrepair. While not as severe or extensive as 50 East Park Street, there is also a pattern of property maintenance issues associated with that property, including a damaged fence that has not been repaired. The letter from the property owner (Appendix D) reflects an inability to properly maintain the site, which already has documented conditions that are detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of occupants and the general public. Based on these factors and the corroborating photographic evidence, the properties can be designated under criterion “a.” Property 8 – Block 882, Lot 27 – 340 Dodd Street Block 882, Lot 27, known as 340 Dodd Street, is a 33’ x 114’, approximately 3,762 square foot vacant lot on the north side of Dodd Street in the northern portion of East Orange. The property is in the R-2 Zone, which permits one- and two-family residences. Most of the development on the block follows a similar residential pattern, although there are some commercial uses interspersed along Dodd Street. Figure 15 - Aerial map Block 882, Lot 27 Figure 16 - Google Earth Aerial, 340 Dodd St.� Property Background The property is owned by the City of East Orange and has been since it acquired it through foreclosure in 2019. Google Streetview shows that the condition of the property today is generally the same as it was in 2020, shortly after the city acquired it. The vacancy of the property dates to 2014, when the dilapidated structure seen in the 2013 Streetview was demolished.

The property is a vacant, mid-block parcel with frontage on the north side of Dodd Street. The following photographs document the conditions present:� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37 City Records A request was made for records over the last five years from the following city departments: planning and zoning, housing and inspections, building, police, fire, and tax collector. The following records associated with the property were provided, and are included in the appendices to this report: Housing and Inspections – Complaints • 7/31/20 – Rodent infestation Criteria Analysis The property is owned by the City of East Orange and has been vacant since 2014 according to a combination of Streetview images and a city demolition permit. The city acquired the property in 2019 via foreclosure / sheriff’s sale after it fell into tax delinquency. Since then, there has not been any movement to improve the property. City ownership of the isolated lot in the R-2 zone is a factor that is discouraging improvement. The property meets criterion “c” by virtue of the public ownership and long-term vacancy creating a condition that inhibits private investment. The lot also represents a drain on the city’s resources because it is not contributing productively to the tax roll while requiring the expenditure of resources on upkeep and maintenance. The sidewalk is in poor condition in front of the property and noticeably worse than its neighbors. There is a history of quality-of-life complaints associated with the property including the rodent infestation noted in 2020 and several older complaints noted in the city’s SDL Portal: As a result of these factors, the property can also be designated under criterion “e”. The public ownership of the vacant, isolated, residential lot is a factor that prevents it from being improved. The condition of the property is stagnant, unproductive, has a negative economic impact by draining the city’s resources without contributing to the tax base, and has a negative social impact as documented by quality-of-life violations in a residential neighborhood. � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 38 Property 9 – Block 901, Lot 1 – 171-173 North Park Street Block 901, Lot 1, known as 171-173 North Park Street is an irregularly shaped, 48’ x 72’, approximately 3,456 square foot vacant lot located in the northwest portion of East Orange. The municipal boundary with the City of Orange Township is less than two blocks to the west along Dodd Street. The property is in the R-2 Zone, which permits one- and two-family residences. The area has a mix of residential and commercial developments, with no strong prevailing character. The lot immediately to the west is also vacant and fenced. Property Background 171-173 North Park Street was acquired by the city in 2017 through foreclosure following a history of tax liens. The oldest Streetview images date to 2007 and show the conditions largely as they are today, nearly twenty years later. According to the city’s SDL Portal, a demolition permit was issued for the property in 1997, with no subsequent development activity, so it has been vacant for over twenty-eight years. Figure 19 - 171-173 North Park Street Streetview, November 2007 Site Visit A site visit was conducted on October 17, 2025 at which time the conditions of the subject property and surrounding neighborhood were reviewed and documented. The property is vacant and surrounded by a chain link fence. The condition of the sidewalk along the property frontage is poor. Otherwise, the site is non-descript as seen in the following pictures:� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 39� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 40� East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 41 City Records A request was made for records over the last five years from the following city departments: planning and zoning, housing and inspections, building, police, fire, and tax collector. The following records associated with the property were provided, and are included in the appendices to this report: Housing and Inspection – Violations • 9/14/22 - Remove commercial vehicles from residential premises • 9/14/22 – Remove all abandoned / unroadworthy / unregistered / unlicensed vehicles • 9/14/22 – Make ground free of overgrowth • 9/14/22 – Shield garbage collection area • 9/14/22 – Make premises free of litter, garbage, and debris Criteria Analysis The property is owned by the City of East Orange and has been vacant since 1997 according to a city demolition permit. The city acquired the property in 2017 via foreclosure after it fell into tax delinquency. Since then, there has not been any movement to improve the property. City ownership of the isolated lot in the R-2 zone is a factor that is discouraging improvement. In addition, because the property is a corner lot and substantially lacking in depth, it would be difficult to develop as a residential property without variance relief. The property meets criterion “c” by virtue of the public ownership and long-term vacancy, along with its dimensions not being in line with the zoning ordinance, which creates a condition that inhibits private investment. The lot also represents a drain on the city’s resources because it is not contributing productively to the tax roll while requiring the expenditure of resources on upkeep and maintenance. The sidewalk is in poor condition in front of the property and noticeably worse than its neighbors. There is a history of quality-of-life complaints associated with the property. As a result of these factors, the property can also be designated under criterion “e”. The public ownership of the vacant, isolated, residential lot is a factor that prevents it from being improved. The condition of the property is stagnant, unproductive, has a negative economic impact by draining the city’s resources without contributing to the tax base, and has a negative social impact as documented by quality-of-life violations in a residential neighborhood. � East Orange Scattered Sites Area in Need of Redevelopment Preliminary Investigation Report October 23, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42 Conclusion There is substantial evidence to support a recommendation that the Study Area, consisting of nine properties, be designated a non-condemnation area in need of redevelopment.

GREEN ACTING DIRECTOR MAYOR October 10, 2025 Planning Board for the City of East Orange 44 City Hall Plaza East Orange, NJ 07017 (973) 266-5140 Dear Commissioners, Earlier this year on April 16th, I presented two preliminary investigation reports related to five (5) properties that were identified by the City Council for consideration as designated redevelopment area sites. One of those preliminary investigation reports examined 30 South Arlington Avenue and the other report examined 40 Madonna Place, 112 Washington Street, and 46 and 50 East Park Street. At the end of my presentation of the two studies, the Board voted to recommend, based on the information provided at the time, all the properties except 46 and 50 East Park Street for designation as areas in need of redevelopment. Following the meeting on April 16th, the City Council adopted a resolution on June 16th accepting the recommendation of the Planning Board and directing the Board to prepare redevelopment regulations for 30 South Arlington Avenue, 40 Madonna Place, and 112 Washington Street. Pursuant to that resolution (Resolution I-222), the Scattered Site Redevelopment Plan was amended to include those three (3) designated sites, which was presented to the Planning Board on August 6 th. The amended Scattered Site Redevelopment Plan is currently pending a second reading by the City Council with Ordinance No. 27 of 2025. The primary reason for this correspondence, however, is not on the status of the three Council￾designated sites, but on new information that has been presented to the Division of Comprehensive Planning regarding 50 East Park Street (Block 820, Lot 9). During my presentation to the Planning Board on April 16th, I noted that, similar to 46 East Park Street, there were several complaints and violations filed by the Department of Code Enforcements that included the following: Code Enforcement Complaints: • CPT-17-02614 (dated 7/20/17): A large decaying tree is on the property and is currently dying. Leaving fallen branches as well as causing health and safety concerns.� Page 2 of 3 • CPT-221703964297 (dated 1/13/22): Leaves and garbage around exterior premises. • CPT-24-1158281710 (dated 1/10/24): Various exterior violations. Code Enforcement Violations: • CVIO-24-01171 (dated 1/24/24): Exterior around entire premises, in violation of §159- 62 - Maintenance of exterior of premises. • CVIO-24-01172 (dated 1/24/24): Exterior around entire premises, in violation of §159- 64 - Residential: appearance of exterior of premises and structures. • CVIO-24-01173 (dated 1/24/24): Exterior right side, in violation of §159-62 - Maintenance of exterior of premises. • CVIO-24-01174 (dated 1/24/24): Exterior around building, in violation of §159-66 Residential areas: exterior structural soundness and general maintenance. • CVIO-24-01175 (dated 1/24/24): Exterior right side, in violation of §159-64 Residential: appearance of exterior of premises and structures. The complaints and violations above are largely related to the property owner’s inability to make the necessary repairs that are likely substantial given the age of the home, which was constructed in 1875. The property owner’s inability to maintain their property has recently been confirmed by a letter (attached herein) from the property owner, dated August 14, 2025, and received by the Director of the Department of Policy, Planning, and Development indicating the property owner’s desire to relinquish sole ownership of the property as part of a redevelopment venture that includes 46 East Park Street. This correspondence has been prepared in advance of another preliminary investigation of 46 and 50 East Park Street, which my office seeks to present at a Planning Board meeting in November. My office and the city thank you for your attention to this matter and are appreciative of each commissioner’s work on the Planning Board. Best Regards, Alexander McClean, AICP, PP Principal Planner, Division of Comprehensive Planning� Page 3 of 3 Cc: Alycia Cohen, Director, Department of Policy, Planning, and Development Janis Nelson, Land Use Board Secretary, Division of Comprehensive Planning � Doreen Fields 50 E. Park Place East Orange, NJ07017 Augst 14th, 2025 Ms. Alycia Cohen Director, Policy, Planning & Development City of East Orange Dear Director Cohen, I am the property owner of 50 E. Park Street, East Orange, NJ 07017. It is not financially feasible for me to engage in a major rehabilitation of my property. I believe it is more feasible for me to pursue the development of the property in conjunction with the property located at 46 E. Park Street, East Orange, NJ. As a result, I have entered into a partnership with 46 E Park A LLC to develop the two properties into a multifamily development. Thank you for your cooperation and support in advancing the development vision for these properties Sincerely, ___________________________ Doreen Fields Docusign Envelope ID: 98B28992-A774-4AF2-B1BB-49DA6DC9CD4A�
