The Suburban Realtors Alliance recently heard from a Realtor whose client was given 30 days to complete repairs as a condition of receiving a temporary certificate of occupancy in Spring City Borough. The Realtor provided the borough with information about Act 133 — which mandates a minimum of 12 months for the completion of repairs — and the borough amended its timeline accordingly. If any new homebuyer is given a period of less than 12 months to make repairs after a use and occupancy inspection — in Spring City Borough or any other Philadelphia suburb — we ask them to contact us via our Municipal Code Inspection Issues form.
