New Law: Submitting Floor Plans for Permits (Oct. 1st 2019)
Havent seen a discussion on this yet, but back on Oct. 1st, it appears that the law changed a bit for the city of Philly. All investors must have Floor plans (blueprints) for any renovation work done on a property to secure Permits. This will add additional cost and time to those quick flips and renovations. The only way to get around this new law is to have your drivers license show that you live at the property that you are renovating. I havent been able to get down to L&I just yet to speak to them face to face about this just yet, but wondering if anyone has gone through the new process since this new law has gone into affect and what has been your experience so far?
