Permits Issued for Two Single-Family Buildings at 846 North 22nd Street in Fairmount, Lower North Philadelphia

Permits have been issued for the construction of two single-family buildings at 846 North 22nd Street in Fairmount, Lower North Philadelphia, with separate permits listed for Unit A and Unit B. Each permit calls for a four-story semi-detached structure with a basement, roof deck, and roof deck access structure. Each building permit covers 2,775 square feet of new construction. SE2 Engineering is responsible for the designs and MJL Contracting LLC is the contractor.

The total construction cost for each permit is listed at $344,999, which includes $266,666 for general construction, $33,333 for excavation, $15,000 for electrical work, $15,000 for mechanical work, and $15,000 for plumbing work.

Zoning drawings label the project as Parrish St Apartments, in reference to the project’s location at the corner of North 22nd Street and Parrish Street. The zoning permit for the site applies to 846 North 22nd Street and is located within RM-1 and RSA-5 zoning districts. The permits list the structures as Group R-3 residential occupancy with Type V-B construction. Each permit also lists 2,534 square feet of earth disturbance. Subsequent amendments reduce the previously approved unit count and revise the approved roof deck configuration.
