Philadelphia L&I Records + PM-315 Ordinance
PM-315 facade inspection overdue
- What we found
- Last PM-315 facade inspection on file is dated 2019. The 5-year cycle required Philadelphia residential buildings 6 stories or higher (or 60+ feet) to re-inspect by 2024. No 2024 report is on file with L&I. Board minutes show inspector outreach but no inspection scheduled.
- Why it matters
- Philadelphia PM-315 non-compliance can result in citations and required remediation. The longer the gap, the higher the probability that an overdue inspection will surface deferred items. For Philadelphia high-rise diligence the inspection report is essential.
- What to ask
- What's the board's timeline to complete the overdue inspection? Is there any L&I correspondence on file from the gap period?
