Zoning Permit Issued for New Residence at 2148 Master Street in North Philadelphia

A zoning permit has been issued for the construction of a new single-family dwelling at 2148 Master Street in North Philadelphia. The project site is located on a mid-block parcel and is associated with the CMX-2 zoning district. The property is owned by Civetta Property Group LLC. The project is designed by Moto Designshop Inc. Spruce Builders LLC is identified as the contractor.

Construction costs are listed at approximately $149,050, with $114,050 attributed to general construction, alongside $6,500 for electrical work, $7,500 for mechanical systems, and $21,000 for plumbing.

The approved scope of work calls for the erection of a three-story attached structure with a cellar, intended for single-family household living. Permit documentation indicates a total construction area of approximately 1,394 square feet. The structure will be fully sprinklered in accordance with NFPA 13D standards, and separate permits will be required for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression systems.

According to permit records, the project includes the construction of a residential unit designated as an affordable housing unit. The building will rise three stories and follow standard Type V-B construction. The proposal also includes a rear yard enclosed by a six-foot-high fence, as indicated in the permit description. A prior zoning refusal was issued for a related application under CMX-2 zoning, citing non-compliance with ground-floor commercial use requirements, which mandate non-residential frontage along the street. The current permit reflects an approved path forward following that determination.

No renderings have been published yet. A construction timeline has not been disclosed.
