Center City FAQs
Which Center City neighborhoods do you cover?
All of them, including Rittenhouse, Fitler Square, Fairmount, Spring Garden, Logan Square, Graduate Hospital, Washington Square West and Society Hill.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster on my street?
Usually, yes. A dumpster or container on the street or sidewalk needs a permit from the Streets Department. We arrange it as part of the project.
Can you renovate a condo?
Yes. Most condo associations require approval, proof of insurance and set work hours. We provide the documents and schedule around the building rules.
Can I add a roof deck to my Center City rowhome?
Often, yes. It needs a structural check and an L&I permit, and some blocks or historic properties need zoning or Historical Commission review. We check your property before you commit.
