Dataset record from Board of License and Inspection Review, Oct 7, 2025
Appeal HA-2021-004969
DecidedTypeL&I Review Board Codes
GroundsIn respect of FC-13-907-2, the tenant is actively destroying the property and is responsible for any damage found. Furthermore, some of the codes relied on are alleged to be unconstitutional. Documents to this effect have been filed in Case 2:21-cv-03683-GJP Thomas v June et al. Further details of destructive behavior by Ashley Banks, an unlawful occupant who has not paid rent in more than six months, are available at these links (a) https://medium.com/@ronscoast/a-tale-of-two-tenants-and-two-laws-8019527ae744 and (b) https://medium.com/@ronscoast. Details from the last links should be treated as if fully and explicitly incorporated here. From the links within the article "A Tale of Two Tenants and Two Laws" under the section "Ashley Banks from the Fresh Prince" the video shows that the fire extinguisher is in place and Ashley Banks is storing garbage in the stairway. This was around early August 2021. The Appellant will present further picture and video evidence.
In respect of A-301.1/65, the property at 87 W Sharpnack street meets the requirements of RM-1 as described in Table 14-602-1 on pages 11-13 of https://www.phila.gov/media/20200213115058/NEW-ZONING-GUIDE_2020.pdf and is eligible for its current use as of right.
In respect of PM15-604.3, PM15-603.1 and PM15-109.1, see Case 2:21-cv-03683-GJP Thomas v June et al. Furthermore, any person lawfully occupying the premises is required to pay utilities and a utilities deposit. Ashley Banks has failed to pay her utilities and the deposit. At the last check Peco indicated that, in violation of the lease agreement, she connected utilities in her own name, and ran up a bill in excess of $400, which she has not paid. Any law which seeks to force property owners to pay utilities of persons who unlawfully chose not to pay utilities violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution and is therefore constitutionally void, as utility companies can suspend service for non-payment.
