Stranger Things? Navigating the Upside Down of Philadelphia’s L&I

Ever get fined by L&I and not sure what to do? Not sure if you need a variance? Need rental licenses but your zoning doesn’t match? 

If you have ever had any dealings with Philadelphia’s License and Inspections (“L&I”), it can often feel like you are in the Upside Down. At the Law Offices of Christopher W. Dean, PLLC, we have over sixteen years experience in dealing with and navigating the many waters of L&I.

Are you considering buying a property but are confused as to how a single family property can have multiple rental licenses? Were fined by L&I but disagree with the violation? Bought a property but cannot obtain a CO despite not making any changes to the property? Need a variance to match a changing neighborhood?

If the answer to the above is yes, contact our offices. We have the experience and knowledge to guide you on what your options are. We have experience filing appeals with the Philadelphia Zoning Hearing Board, the L&I Appeals Board or the Build of Boarding Safety, as well as navigating permitting and licensing in the Eclipse system.
