Philadelphia Rental License (Housing Inspection License)

Philadelphia Rental License (Housing Inspection License)

Investor · Philadelphia, PA · Member since 2013 · 4 posts · 0 votes

Closing on 2 properties in 1 week in Philadelphia. One has outstanding code violations classified as "Non-Hazardous" by L&I. Can I still get a Philadelphia Rental License aka Housing Inspection License before making the repairs? I'm going to make the repairs but I'm purchasing tenant occupied and want to comply ASAP first.

Any Philly investors here that can provide any insight? Appreciate it.

    Nan, I don't invest in Philly but I am a member of the REIA group. I would strongly suggest you ask these members if you are an active participant. Jon

    Thanks Jonathan, I am a member of the REIA.

    Update for interested parties - I called L&I - you are able to get rental license but cannot get rental certificate with outstanding code violations. Just in case someone else is in my situation.
