The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
The county record describes a new attached apartment building at 3620 Fairmount Ave in the Mantua neighborhood of Philadelphia. It would hold nine household units, with a cellar, a roof deck and a covered front porch.
The record says the project needs a zoning variance. That means the plan does not fully fit the zoning rules for the lot, so the city's zoning board must approve an exception before it can go ahead. The record does not say what is on the site now or how tall the building would be.
No developer website, news coverage, hearing notice or decision about this address was found online. The details here come only from the county filing, which was last updated on June 24, 2026.
What it could mean nearby
- Nine new homes would add to the housing supply in Mantua.
- The records do not say anything about parking, traffic, jobs or utilities, so effects on those are unknown.
Where it stands
The county filing shows the project needs a zoning variance, and no approval or decision was found online. Next, the zoning board usually holds a public hearing, and construction permits can follow if the variance is granted.
