The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show a zoning appeal to split one lot at 2401 N 32nd St in Strawberry Mansion, Philadelphia, into two parcels. The Philadelphia Housing Authority is the firm named on the filing.
Parcel A would hold five new homes. One would be a single-family semi-detached home, and the other four would be in a four-unit semi-detached building. Parcel B would stay vacant. The records do not say what is on the site now. Vacant land is likely, but that is not confirmed.
No news coverage, hearing notices, decisions or developer project page were found for this address. Nothing is known online about opposition, approvals or who would live in the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- Five new homes would add to the housing supply on a lot that may now be underused.
- Parcel B would stay vacant, so no building is planned there under this filing.
- Traffic, school and utility effects are not described in the records, so none can be assessed.
Where it stands
