A nine-unit apartment building is proposed at 6995 Pechin Street in the Roxborough area of Philadelphia. County records describe an amended site plan that moves the 'pilot house'. That is the small rooftop structure that covers a stairway or elevator exit.
A July 2024 local news report on building permits describes a three-story building with three units per floor, each roughly 900 square feet. It also describes nine parking spaces and a green roof. The roughly half-acre site faces Pechin Street, near Ridge Avenue, and currently holds a one-story building that the permits say will be demolished.
The report's size and cost figures are disputed by commenters, and the article itself does not settle them. Commenters also questioned whether the plans show one building or three. No opposition, approval hearings or tenant details were found, and no construction timeline has been announced.
What it could mean nearby
- Nine new apartments would add modestly to the local housing supply.
- The plans include nine on-site parking spaces, which could limit the pressure on street parking.
- The site is described as near grocery stores, shops and restaurants.
- A green roof is included in the permit description.
Where it stands
Building permits were reported as issued in mid-2024, after a county filing in April 2024 for an amended site plan. Construction usually follows, with inspections along the way. No sign of completion or occupancy was found.
