Yes. Nearly all demolition work in Philadelphia requires a permit through the Department of Licenses & Inspections (L&I), and interior or full demolitions may also require an asbestos survey before work begins. We handle the permit filing and required documentation as part of our process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Party wall demolition requires careful sequencing to avoid destabilizing the neighboring structure. We assess the shared wall condition, coordinate any required shoring, and follow L&I guidelines for party wall work throughout the project.
Properties within a Philadelphia Historic District or individually listed on the Philadelphia Register may require additional review by the Historical Commission before a demolition permit is issued. We coordinate that review process alongside the standard L&I permit application.
The city regulates construction noise and working hours, particularly in residential areas. We schedule work to stay within permitted hours and keep neighbors informed ahead of noisier phases like mechanical demolition.
A single rowhome demolition, once permitted, typically takes one to three days depending on access, party wall conditions, and debris hauling logistics. Permit approval timelines through L&I can add several weeks, which is why we file early in the process.
