Appeal HA-2021-001674
DecidedTypeL&I Review Board Codes
GroundsMy name is Mary C. Kporlor-Richardson and I am submitting this appeal request because, I recently received a letter ( CASE NUMBER: CF-2021-021209
STANDARD ) stating that on March 25, 2021 it was determined that my property ( 7101 Buist Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19142 ) is in violation status ( Code
A-301.1/65 ) because of a wheelchair ramp and parking space that was build in my backyard. I had a major stroke on December 17, 2021 which kept me hospitalized for three months. Now, I am totally paralyzed on my left side and have to use a wheelchair to enter my home. My family did not know that they had to obtain a zoning permit to make the property ADA and wheelchair accessible for me. Therefore, upon my release from inpatient therapy rehabilitation center on March 17, 2021, my family had no choose but to hurrily have the backyard modified with a wheelchair ramp, in order for me to gain entrance into my home. This was not done to violate the city code knowingly. Please consider my medical conditions and lack of knowledge concerning L&I zoning code violation and help me waive the $300.00 fine because I can not afford to make this payment. Also, I will appreciate your guidance on securing the proper zoning permit for the current and present use of the ramp on my property. Thank you.
