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.
