The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a request to build a new five-story apartment building with 30 homes and a roof deck at 896 N 41st St in the Belmont area of West Philadelphia. The filing was submitted as a zoning variance request. That means the plan needs permission to depart from one or more of the zoning rules that apply to the site.
The records don't say what is on the lot now. The developer on the filing is 2621 Jefferson Development LLC.
No news coverage, hearing notice, decision or developer project page was found for this address. One news item covers a similar 30-unit, five-story building at a nearby address, 892 N 41st St. It can't be tied to this filing, so it is not used here.
What it could mean nearby
- Thirty new apartments would add housing in Belmont, though unit sizes and rents are not stated in the records.
- A five-story building with a roof deck is larger than many nearby buildings, so height and neighbor privacy may come up at a hearing.
- Traffic, parking and trash-collection details are not in the county summary.
Where it stands
A zoning variance request was filed with the county around 2026-04-25. A hearing before the zoning board usually follows. The board then decides whether to grant the variance, with or without conditions. No hearing date or decision was found online.
