Authorizing the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Land Bank deeds conveying title to 3810 Haverford Avenue and 3712 Wallace Street, located in the 3rd Councilmanic District, pursuant to the requirements of the Commonwealth Land Bank Act.
Summary
Resolution No. 251078, introduced by Councilmember Gauthier on December 4, 2025, and adopted on December 11, 2025, authorizes the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA) to transfer title of two properties, 3810 Haverford Avenue and 3712 Wallace Street, to the Philadelphia Land Bank (PLB). These properties are located in the 3rd Councilmanic District. The transfer will occur without monetary consideration, as permitted by Section 2109(d)(3) of the Commonwealth Land Bank Act, and aims to advance the public purposes for which the Land Bank was established, typically involving the revitalization of vacant or underutilized land.
This action facilitates the Philadelphia Land Bank's ability to acquire and manage properties, potentially leading to the redevelopment of vacant or blighted parcels into productive uses like affordable housing or community spaces in the 3rd Councilmanic District.
