Permits have been issued for the construction of a new residential building at 4140 Pennsgrove Street in the Mantua section of West Philadelphia. The project site is located near the intersection of Pennsgrove Street and North 41st Street and falls within the Central West planning district. YCY314 LLC is listed as the owner. The contractor for the development is United Paint Group LLC, and the design professional in responsible charge is Miguel (Michael) Mota.
According to the filing, the total cost of construction is $492,200, which includes $462,200 for general construction and $30,000 for excavation.
The project site is a vacant lot that spans an area of 1,533 square feet. The scope of work calls for the construction of a three-story structure classified as R-2 residential occupancy, which will house three dwelling units. The total construction area is listed at 4,922 square feet. The building will include a note that a covered walkway or sidewalk closure will be required during construction.
No underpinning is indicated, but the permit notes that adjacent properties will be impacted by the work. Separate permits will be required for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression installations.
Construction timelines have not been made public. Philly YIMBY will continue to monitor progress at the site and provide updates as they become available.

This property is located within a reasonable walking distance from Fairmount Park and a hike from the Philadelphia Zoological Gardens.
No mention of off-street parking.
4140 Pennsgrove St. is located at the corner of Pennsgrove and N. Holly St. As such, there is an opportunity for windows on three sides, north, south, and west. Think lots of interior light.

I live in a corner section of my condo building and there are no additional windows because there is simply no need for it.
Not every design will mirror others.
I appreciate reading your comments and encourage you to continue.
When I see no additional comments to many articles, it makes me sad.
