According to the permits, the parcel spans 1,666 square feet, with a proposed lot coverage of 45.83 percent, well below the 75 percent maximum allowed for the RSA-5 district. The plans specify a rear yard depth of 54 feet, exceeding the required minimum of 9 feet, ensuring substantial open space at the back of the property. The building will rise 35 feet to the main roof, staying under the 38-foot cap.
Drawings depict a brick façade with large vertical windows arranged in a two-over-two rhythm above a raised entry stoop. Horizontal paneling accents are shown at the second and third floors, breaking up the vertical lines and adding visual interest. The roof access structure is modest in scale, designed to provide stair access only, consistent with zoning allowances for pilot houses.
The property is located on the south side of Pearce Street, situated between Aramingo Avenue, Duncan Street, and Sepviva Street. Landmarks nearby include Cruz Auto Services to the west and Aramingo Avenue commercial corridor to the east. The project is part of a three-home row development on Pearce Street, with this home representing the Parcel B portion. The construction adds to a wave of small-scale infill development in Northeast Philadelphia, replacing vacant or underused parcels with new housing stock.
