@Joe White

I am not referring to a small single family row home, I’m referring to an apartment building.

I see many many 1 bed new construction properties. Maybe not all 1 bed, but either the majority or a mix of 1bed and 2bed. For example, university city, Francisville, Brewerytown, Germantown, etc. Even with new construction triplexes it’s not uncommon to see them setup as 3-2-1

What areas do you primarily work in?

@Mayer M.

Got the PM and looked at the address.

The property is zoned single family and it appears at one point it was used as a duplex but then in March 2000 the use was changed from two family to single family and is therefore not currently a legal two family. Should you want it to be a legal two family you would need to go through the variance process and get an attorney and architect involved. Wether or not it would get approved is another story.

The question is was it approved. It should show in the licenses section of atlas. If approved it should also show an active use permit for a two family dwelling

What’s the zoning and land area?

You can go to atlas.phila.gov search the address and check zoning and licenses

Had cancelled policies I never received refunds for, had paid for policies and received certificates only to find out they were never actually bound, etc. basically it appears he was taking money for the policies and never paying the insurance companies and/or never binding coverage

Had a long talk with one of the carriers yesterday

@Jimmy O'Connor

Outside of student rentals don’t you think it’s way more difficult to rent 3 beds vs. 2s or 1s?

Certainly seems like the trend in Philly is 1 or 2 beds for new construction
