Building Ownders
The Philadelphia Facade Ordincance is now Law.
Get Inspected – we can provide swing stages and sidewalk
sheds to give your inspector access to your building, quickly
(usually within 24 hours) and inexpensively. Superior can file
all the necessary paperwork for the City Permit for your shed.
Remain Open – we can erect a new sidewalk shed or add on to
your inspection shed quickly, cost effectively and built entirely
to City of Philadelphia codes for sidewalk protection. Our
emergency service is guaranteed to start within 24 hours!
Handle Your Repair - our full line of scaffolding gives you all
the options regarding cost vs. turn-around time decisions.
- Swing Staging – our most cost effective approach.
- Pipe Scaffold – the fastest way to get a big job done.
- Mast Climbing Platforms – great cost effective solution for tall buildings in particular.

City of Philadelphia Facade Ordinance
 The new ordinance affects buildings six stories or more in height, all buildings
with any appurtenances in excess of 60 feet, and any building, other than one or
two family dwellings, greater than two stories.
The ordinance sets a schedule to which building owners must adhere for the
inspection of facades and any subsequent repairs. Those owning structures
constructed before 1950 are required to inspect their facades by June 30, 2011.
Properties built between 1951 and 1970 must have inspections completed
by June 2012. Buildings constructed between 1991 and 2005 would need
inspections done by June 2015. Following the initial inspection, each building
is required to be reinspected every FIVE years and the reports filed with the
Department of Licenses and Inspection.
