Recently, the City of Philadelphia released bulletin codes related to construction permits for projects and notifications of work for neighboring properties. The City strives to implement policies to ensure that work proceeds in a safe and continuous manner and complies with the most recent version of the City’s Building Construction and Occupancy Code. As such, the Code dictates that a permit will become invalid if work is not commenced within six months of issuance or is suspended for a period of six months and that all work covered under a permit be completed within five years of the date of issuance.

🔍 Building Safety Remediation Update 🔍 As of July 2024, there are now 4,630 residential buildings (11m+) identified with unsafe cladding - an increase of 17 since June 2024. 🏢 At the start of 2023, the Government department were tracking the progress of high-rise buildings with ACM cladding and those in the Building Safety Fund.

The Wallingford Planning and Zoning Commission could act on a site plan application to build 22 units of housing with a parking lot at 898 Church St. in Yalesville. The application was filed under Connecticut's 8-30g statute, which stipulates that developments with 30 percent of its units deemed affordable can only be denied under limited criteria. Affordable/multifamily housing in Connecticut is on the rise! What type of projects do you mostly see breaking ground? https://lnkd.in/eHWGvd8G

QLD: Shadesails - do they need a building development approval? A recent debate on a renovation forum involved this issue. So many contrary (and often incorrect) opinions were given, offered and debated: "It's roof isn't solid, so it doesn't need approval"...."It's got no walls, so it doesn't need approval".... "It's a temporary structure, so it doesn't need approval". If in doubt, go to the Building Regulation 2021 which lists development that is either Accepted or Exempt (Schedules 1 and 2 respectively). If the development isn't on one of these lists, it's Assessable and requires a building development approval.
