Improper Building Construction Open

525 Washington Avenue Philadelphia, PA - Queen Village

525 Washington has a zoning variance to run a restaurant on the ground floor, but the kitchen vent is required to stay inside the building up to the roof. The new vent pictured here (rear of property) partly completed is not within code and is the latest in a series of violations of good faith promises made by the zoning variance applicants.

  The new tenants are not keeping to their promises to the neighbors and the city of Philadelphia. This style of "bait and switch" construction continues to plague our area.

  First the unauthorized unsightly rear wall on League Street. Now unwanted food oder on our streets and in our homes, unacceptable.

  This is unacceptable. How many people are going to get away with building code and zoning violations? Our street is not a landfill.

  We need a way to hold variance applicants to their promises. Under the current system, all an applicant needs to do is agree to whatever the neighborhood asks and then break those agreements whenever convenient.
  
  The only official means of redress I can find is 311 (connected to L&I). There is no direct ZBA contact. Looks to me like social media is the best way of generating attention.
