Join AIA's Advocacy Group and L&I Committee for a meet and greet with Basil Merenda, Philadelphia's L+I Commissioner for Building Inspections, Safety, and Compliance. Under Mayor Cherelle Parker's Administration, the Department of Licenses and Inspections has been divided into two. This strategic decision aims to curb 'mission creep' and enhance resource allocation.
Commissioner Basil Merenda is tasked with implementing the L+I Joint Task Force on Regulatory Reform, as documented in the December 2023 Final Report. As the Chair of the Joint Task Force on Regulatory Reform, Commissioner Merenda is well-positioned for this effort. The Final Report includes reforms to Title 4 and Title 9 of the Philadelphia Code and their enforcement by the Department of Licenses and Inspections within a six-month timeline.
Find out how Commissioner Merenda intends to execute the L+I Reform Task Force's final report and how these changes will shape the built environment, impact the architectural community, and enhance the quality of life for Philadelphians.
