  • We purchased a severely blighted property in Pottsville

    Pottsville, PA
    Other

    Bobby Weaver, a property owner in Pottsville, PA, describes his experience renovating a severely blighted property using approximately $700,000 in financing from local redevelopment authorities, loans, and grants, but encountered significant obstacles due to code enforcement issues. He identifies three main problems: code officials are risk-averse and poorly educated (requiring only 3 hours of study to become licensed), local officials incorrectly apply the International Building Code instead of Pennsylvania's own Uniform Construction Code, and the confusion between these standards has left his project only half-completed despite engaging 3 architects and 4 lawyers. Weaver proposes legislative solutions to clarify Pennsylvania's existing UCC provisions for historic and uncertified buildings built before 1927, which would provide alternative compliance pathways such as hardwired fire alarms instead of sprinkler systems.
