Frankford NAC February Meeting

The Frankford NAC met February 12th to consider two zoning cases.  Both involved legalizing the existing use of the properties after new owners had purchased them.  4800 Tacony Street is a two unit apartment with a space or a store.  It was approved with the proviso that the L&I violations had been corrected.  4530 Griscom Street has been used as a duplex but is zoned mixed use commercial.  The owner needed a variance to use it for two apartments.  It was also approved with no community opposition.   Both properties are being upgraded.  The next meeting of the Frankford NAC will be on March 13th at 7PM at 2nd Baptist Church at 1801 Meadow Street.
