I just couldn't find the correct document.
are you able to see that we're good now yep thank you for your patience
okay so tell us what it is you want to do so i purchased a duplex about two years ago
and used it as my primary residence and then I began to experience some health problems and so
I was looking for other ways that I could use the property and still take care of myself and so I
have gone through the process of appealing our zoning so that I can use the duplex as an Airbnb
for short-term rentals and my background is an experience design and this is a passion of mine
to make beautiful spaces here in philadelphia all right um why don't you go through your
your documents here a minute i see your application right absolutely here's the application
so why don't you show us some pictures of your property you have photos of your property
yes i do
right after these okay that's your deed okay yep
okay this is the property this is the front of the structure from a top view and then also from
a bottom view okay and move it up that's good okay thank you so the brown one's yours the brown brick
correct okay and it still has no property on either side of it both are still empty lots
this is the side from the facing east and this front side faces west and this is the back of
the property. We're right beside a bus stop. And one of the ways we have invested in the community
is we have, when we first went through the RCO request process, one of the people suggested that
we find a way to invest in the community. And so since then, we have been paying $200 a month for
trash cleanup on our block. And we're particularly focusing on the bus stop area and the park area
that's right beside the house but it actually covers both sides of the street for the full block
using the glitter program here and here's your letter coming up from this from um our square
