The full picture AI research · Nov 2, 2026
County records show a proposal for a new four-story apartment building at 5805 E Wister St in the Ogontz area of Philadelphia. It would have 18 apartments and a cellar (a basement level). The building would be fully sprinklered, with standpipes. Standpipes are built-in water pipes that let firefighters connect hoses inside the building.
The records do not say what is on the site now. They also do not say whether the apartments would be rented or sold, or who would live there.
The latest county filing is dated September 13, 2026. The only company named on it is PASP LLC. No news coverage, developer page, hearing notice or meeting record specific to this project was found online, so this explanation relies on the county facts alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Adds 18 new dwelling units to the area, which could increase housing supply.
- More residents could mean more street parking demand and more local traffic. The records give no parking or access details.
Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2026-09-13, and no approval, hearing or decision has been found in public sources. Next steps usually include city review of the plans, any needed zoning approval, and then permit issuance before construction starts.
