Understanding Property Violations in Philadelphia

What Are Property Violations?

The Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I) enforces building codes, zoning laws, and safety regulations. If a property fails to meet city requirements, it may receive a violation notice. These violations can range from minor infractions like improper signage to serious legal matters such as unsafe building conditions.

Failure to resolve violations promptly can lead to:
✔ Hefty fines and penalties (could be up to $2,000+ a day)
✔ Stop-work orders on construction projects
✔ Legal action from the city
✔ Difficulty selling or leasing your property
