SFR Rental Zoning Restrictions in Philadelphia

[Michael Lutes]

Hello,

I recently put a single family house under contract to use as a rental in Philadelphia, PA. I subsequently learned that this property is zoned I-2. Will this zoning prohibit me from obtaining a rental license or cause me any other trouble in renting the property? 

Thanks in advance for any help!

@Rich O'Neill That's great to know Rich. Fortunately the property is in decent shape and will only require a couple new appliances, painting and maybe some flooring. Down the road (5+ years) I might consider putting in a second bath but for now I will keep in mind that it could be difficult. The current owner was able to pull permits when he updated the face of the property so I am hoping I can do the same. Thanks for the response!
