Quote from @Rich Thomas: You should have received documentation about the HOA board when you purchased.

Look for things like whether the windows are new or old, if the property is boarded up, and any signs of structural issues. 

Here's the instructions:https://www.phila.gov/departments/board-of-revision-of-taxes...

I attend both and I'm on the Board of Directors of R.O.A.Finally, DM me here with your phone number and I'm happy to open doors for you locally. 

If they’re not on board with this, you should find someone else.In your case, it’s not too late to try to resolve this.

Talk to your neighbors, get them on board for your project as the first step. 

So I do want to clarify a few things about how my property is furnished that I assumed was implied, but my potential MTR does have the following: - Washer/Dryer- 75 inch mounted TV - Fridge/Microwave - Kitchen Appliances (silverware, pots/pans, soap dispensers, coffee maker, cutting boards, etc) - Multiple large mirrors on walls, fake plants around the home, living room carpet/coffee table in additon to couch. - Full office with a desk and a deskchar plus filing cabinet. - Bathroom towels, hair dryer, soap, toilettires, etc. - Grill in the backyard.

It all stems from an angry neighbor filing a complaint to city and calling the home a boarding house.  

It has been slow across the board.

In one of our companies, we have a board comprised of people with different expertise.
