Get StartedThe City’s Home Rule Charter is like the City's constitution; it sets up the rules for City government. If you vote "Yes" on this ballot question, it means you want to change the City's Charter so that the City's Board of License and Inspection Review is expanded to have nine members and is allowed to hear and decide cases in groups of three members at a time. The City has a Board of License and Inspection Review that hears appeals related to property maintenance violations and related to certain licenses and permits issued by the City. The Board currently has up to six members. A majority of the Board's appointed members must participate to decide any case. If this Charter change is adopted, the Board would be able to have up to nine members, and the Board Chair would be able to designate groups of three or more members to hear and decide any case, which potentially would allow the Board to hear cases more quickly than it does now.
Shall The Philadelphia Home Rule Charter be amended to provide for an expanded Board of License Inspection Review that can hear and decide cases in three-member panels?
