Permits have been issued for the construction of a six-unit residential building at 817 North 41st Street in Belmont, West Philadelphia. The approved building permit calls for a three-story attached structure with a basement and a roof access structure for mechanical access only.

Permits list a total construction cost of $150,000, with the full amount allocated to general construction.

The approved building permit lists 3,000 square feet of new construction. The zoning permit was issued for the erection of an attached structure without a roof deck, with size and location as shown on the approved plans. The permit lists the approved use as residential household living, multifamily, and the additional use details specify six dwelling units. The filing was approved after a prior refusal that cited multifamily household living in the RSA-5 district and a proposed height above the district limit.

The zoning table lists the parcel at 1,555.2 square feet and places it in the RSA-5 zoning district. The plans show a proposed 17-foot lot width, 25.73 percent open area, a nine-foot seven-and-three-quarter-inch rear yard, 176.5 square feet of rear yard area, 188.7 square feet of front yard area, and a 1,155-square-foot building footprint. The table lists the proposed building height as 45 feet, including the roof access structure.

Plans place the development on a parcel along North 41st Street, with Reno Street shown to the rear and neighboring buildings shown at 815, 819, and 813 North 41st Street. The site plan labels a proposed three-story multifamily building, front and rear yards, proposed stairs, a roof setback, a roof access structure, and an alley at the rear of the property. The section drawing shows a three-story building over a basement, with the first, second, and third floors arranged below a roof level and roof access structure. The approved drawings do not include a roof deck, and the roof access structure is labeled for mechanical access only.

With zoning and building permits now issued, the project may proceed as a six-unit attached residential building under the approved plans.
