PASSED

The enacted ordinance changes Philadelphia’s property-license rules by requiring certain applications to identify people with significant ownership interests, and requiring applicants to update changed information within 10 business days. It also requires managing agents to accept notices and legal service for property owners, with those notices counting as notice to the owner. Providing false or misleading ownership or managing-agent information can result in daily offenses, with different penalties depending on whether it was knowing or negligent.

Amending Chapter 9-3900 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Property Licenses and Owner Accountability," to modify application and notice requirements, and penalties for noncompliance; all under certain terms and conditions.
