County records show a proposal to use a detached building at 4112 Pechin Street in Roxborough as 10 apartments. The plan includes 20 off-street parking spaces, one of them for electric vehicles. The developer on the filing is Pine Manayunk Development LLC.
The project needs a variance, which is permission to depart from the zoning rules. The developer has appealed to the Zoning Board for it. Records do not say what the lot looks like now.
A 2021 local news article described an earlier, larger apartment proposal at the same address by a different developer. That proposal drew organized opposition from a neighborhood civic association. No coverage was found that ties that earlier plan to the current 10-unit filing, and no decision on the current request was found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Ten new apartments would add to the local housing supply.
- The 20 parking spaces suggest the plan aims to keep residents' cars off nearby streets, though actual traffic effects are not documented.
- A 2021 article shows neighbors have objected to apartment plans at this address before, so some local concern is possible.
Where it stands
The proposal is before the Zoning Board on appeal for a variance, and no decision was found. The board usually holds a public hearing, hears from the applicant and neighbors, and then approves, approves with conditions, or denies the request.
- Feb 3, 2026 Latest county filing for the 10-unit proposal
- Oct 2021 Local news covered neighbors organizing against an earlier, larger apartment proposal at the same address
Want to weigh in? The Zoning Board of Adjustment decides the variance. Residents can usually testify at its public hearing, and registered community organizations for the area often take part.
