A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has confirmed that a vacant three-story prewar rowhouse at 1937 West Norris Street in North Philadelphia West has been demolished. The former single-family dwelling stands on the north side of the block between North 19th Street and North 20th Street and will be torn down as part of the City of Philadelphia Demolition Program at a cost of $16,961. The City of Philadelphia owns the property. Thomas Curran is the listed contractor.
In addition to demolition, the job will include an erosion control mat with seed on lot, cleaning and grading of the adjacent lot at 1935 West Norris Street, and replacement of the sidewalk in front of both properties. No stucco will be added to the future exposed wall of the adjacent building at 1939 West Norris Street, likely because the structure is also vacant and subject to future demolition.
