Demolition may still be allowed to address an imminently dangerous condition or through the historic-preservation review process; the restriction ends after 12 months or earlier if the Historical Commission certifies that it has mailed proposed historic-designation notices for more than 25% of the properties.

Amending Chapter 14-1000 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Historic Preservation," to establish a temporary demolition moratorium with respect to properties in the area bounded by Henry Avenue, Roxborough Avenue, Silverwood Street, and Fountain Street; all under certain terms and conditions.
