Building Permit for 3 unit existing building in Philadelphia?
Hi all-
I'm seeking out my second renovation project and am in talks to buy and rehab a 3-unit existing building in South Philly. I'm planning to register for a Contractor License with my partner (who has been in construction for 15 years) to manage the project. My understanding is that an EZ Permit is only eligible for one and two dwelling buildings, so we'll need to apply for a proper Building Permit to renovate this 3-unit building, and would therefore also require plans. Is that correct? Thanks for any information you can offer, the city can be really hard to get answers from.
