Excerpt from Housing Conditions in Philadelphia an Investigation Made The question is not the construction of new tenement houses, but the better control of old buildings adapted to a new use. For the former there is in force as good a law as is possible, one which is quoted by other cities as one of the best. It was framed before the Association was in existence and the present President of the Board of Directors of the Association was one of its most active promoters. There are no laws nor regulations governing the adaptation of old buildings if the alterations are so trifling as to require no building per mit. No city official enters them except on complaint of nuisance of some sort and they are subject only to such laws as govern private dwellings. The monograph which follows supplies a body of information in regard to the housing problems of the city which should be a safe guide to immediate remedy of the more pressing evils and a basis for work in the future.
