Official:Amending Subcode "PM" of Title 4 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "The Philadelphia Property Maintenance Code," by amending Section PM-102.0, entitled "Licensing," to amend the requirements for identifying a local agent for service of notices and process, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Tasco
Introduced: January 24, 2008
: Committee on Licenses and Inspections
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill amends a rule in the Philadelphia Property Maintenance Code to require owners of certain types of properties (like apartments and hotels) to have a 'local agent' who can receive notices from the city on their behalf.
