Checking for Violations on Properties in

The City of Philadelphia Pa

 

The City of Philadelphia has made it very easy to check for violations on city properties .It is a wonderful site for Real Estate Agents to make sure there are no violations on the property they are selling . I am sure the public can also make use of this site to check that their own property is clear and free of violations . Here are step by step instructions on how to use the site

 
2.  On the right hand side of the page, you will see a box labeled "Departments".  Click on the drop down menu and select      "Licenses & Inspections".
 
3.  Once you're on the L&I page, scroll down until you see a box labeled "Property History" on the left hand side.
 
4. Enter your property address to search all L&I history on the property.  If there are violations showing, you can click on the violation number to see the details of the violation.  It will also tell you if the violation is still open or if it's been closed along with the date it was closed.  
 
If any of you have any questions regarding navigating the site, just give me a call I will try to help you the best I can .
 
There is so much information on this site . I think you will find it very interesting . There is so much information on this site you will be amazed . I hope you find it useful . In fact I know you will . Especially if you have never used this site before you will find things you will never know you could do on line .
 
Please remember to contact me if you are looking to buy or sell a house in the Philadelphia or surrounding area 

If I don't know the answer I will find it out

Good morning Hannah. I have never understood why every listing agent doesn't check for any violations, rather than finding out about problems during the sale process.

Nice job with your post, important topic.

Hi Hannah Williams 

This is a great help to agents and maybe to the buyers/sellers too. We always have to pull a prelim and when I am doing short sales, I pull one the day I take the listing as we never know what we will find. Great tool Hannah! See you soon.

Hmm, I need to check to see if I can find something like that in our area. We have a bunch of small minicipalities and each of them have their own government, so it is tricky, but it is sure worth the try.

Thank you
