Welcome!  I'm new to BP myself.  Good to see locals on here.

Philadelphia gas works, PECO, and the city does the water.

I agree with Jonathan.  There should be  a clause in the lease for you to gain access with notice.  However, you're just asking for trouble by showing the house with an angry tenant still in it.  I would wait out the eviction process.

Look into National Tenant Network.  I haven't used it yet myself, but know some people that do use it.

I don't know about the deal you're considering, but I will state a couple of facts. There is currently 29 rental properties on the MLS in the zip code ranging from 550 to 1550. In that area by the cemetery you referenced, there are 34 properties for sale on the MLS ranging from 14.6k (not a typo 14,600) to 155k. The couple on the high end are completely remodeled and look to be nicely done. I personally don't invest that far down. I stay in the NorthEast or the suburbs.
