Philadelphia City Council wants to remodel its Property Maintenance Code. A new bil, No. 120719 would repeal the entire current PM code except for some particulars such as the Rental Suitatility Certificate and lead paint disclosure  rules.  The whole thing would be  replaced with the 2009 International Property Maintenance Code. It's their way of trying to make owners more accountable. Hearings on the bill will begin at the end of October.  

    Philadelphia City Council might do away with their requirement that unauthorized vehicles have to be ticketed before they can be towed from private parking lots. They are considering a bill that would require towers to take photos instead.  We've  been complaining for years that getting the car ticketed before towing is simply not feasible. Hearings on the proposed new bill will be in the fall.
