This address in the now-hot Temple area is another example of the City’s inefficiencies, as it is owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority and has been since 1968. Not sure where the PHA properties fall in the Land Bank scheme, but you can be sure nothing will happen on this lot soon.

This property is owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority. They sometimes sell off their vacant properties at auction. You can call the PHA and ask if this is for sale.
