How difficult is it for adding extensions Bathrooms/Bedrooms

Posted

I'm looking at a duplex property in North Philly and the ground floor footprint is significantly larger than the top floor, so I'm hoping to move the second floor apt kitchen and bathroom adding space for another bedroom. I'm wondering how difficult the permit processing is. Sorry if this is a super novice question, I'm a super novice. 

Thank you,

Kien "Netic"

@Kien Gallwey-Grant it would be a good idea for you to network for a good zoning expediter. I've found them to be the best resources for pushing approvals through the system, which in Philly, can be one of the biggest time vampires. I'll follow up in direct messages!
