Authorizing the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority to execute and deliver to the Philadelphia Land Bank deeds conveying title to various properties located in the 5th Councilmanic District, including on the following streets: W. Letterly Street, W. Oakdale Street, N. Etting Street, N. Bailey Street, and N. 26th Street, pursuant to the requirements of the Commonwealth Land Bank Act.

Resolution No. 251087, introduced by Councilmember Young and adopted on December 11, 2025, authorizes the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA) to transfer title of 11 properties in the 5th Councilmanic District to the Philadelphia Land Bank. This transfer, conducted without consideration, includes properties on W. Letterly Street, W. Oakdale Street, N. Etting Street, N. Bailey Street, and N. 26th Street. The action is taken pursuant to the Commonwealth Land Bank Act (Act 153 of 2012) and aims to further the public purposes for which the Land Bank was created, primarily to return vacant and underutilized properties to productive use.

The transfer of these properties to the Land Bank means they can be redeveloped for housing or other community uses, potentially improving neighborhood blight and increasing property values in the 5th Councilmanic District.
