A-802.2.1.1 Board Recommendation

Philadelphia Administrative Code > 8 Appeals and Variances > A-802 Technical Boards > A-802.2 Variances > A-802.2.1 Board of Building Standards > A-802.2.1.1 Board Recommendation
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Recommendation for an extension of time or a variance from a technical code by the Board of Building Standards shall be made upon written petition by, or on behalf of, the owner where there is a finding that:
  1. The variance will fulfill the intent of the code; and
  2. Literal enforcement will result in unique and unnecessary hardship or extraordinary conditions make literal compliance impractical; and
  3. The variance will not be an unreasonable deviation from the requirements of the code; and
  4. In the case of a variance in an area prone to flooding, the considerations and conditions for issuance set forth in Appendix G of the Philadelphia Building Code are satisfied; and
  5. In the case of buildings designated as historic pursuant to Chapter 14-1000 of The Philadelphia Code or listed in the National Register of Historic Places, where strict compliance with a provision of this Title would interfere with the historic character of the property, the variance does not constitute a material life safety hazard;
  6. In the case of the request for an extension of time, efforts are being made to come into compliance as quickly as possible; and
  7. A reasonable accommodation is requested under the Fair Housing Act for provisions related to the technical codes.

UpCodes note: Section A-802.2.1.1 was amended by Bill No. 120774-A (approved January 14, 2013) and Bill No. 180175 (approved June 6, 2018).
