Pet policies throughout the Philadelphia condominium landscape are as assorted as the associations who put forth their rules concerning pets. From exceedingly liberal to exceedingly exclusionary, pet policies have a way of dividing many associations, and feelings towards pet policies run from hot to mild as there are valid arguments, both pro and con. There are also a estimate of Philadelphia condominium associations who have come to a compromise that has allowed for a greater share of the buying public to reconsider their construction when they and their pet shop for a new condo in town City.
Generally, the town City pet policy in the low-rise/Brownstone sector of condominiums allows pets. I am aware of no low-rise condo construction that prohibits pets from their buildings- though restrictions on size, breed, and estimate of pets may be limited. Surrounded by the high-rise condo sector, I would have to argue that most do allow pets, but not all.
I am aware of one construction in single that does not allow either dogs or cats. Not allowing pets does contribute for a bit of serenity in a building. No owner has to worry about a yappy dinky dog who barks every time person walks past the front door. Nor do owners have to worry about "Billy the Thoughtless tenant" who brings his three pit-bulls into an elevator with you and your friends. Also, no one has to worry that Fido is going to have an urgency in the elevator, or the lobby of the condo building. town City One, a high rise condominium construction along the Avenue of the Arts has a smart pet policy that seems to benefit both sides of the pet argument. The construction allows dogs, but only one per unit. And there are size and breed restrictions that preclude most other owners in the construction from becoming involved about their own security and well being. I would even go one step added and advise that if a construction were inspecting allowing pets, that they permit only owners from having pets- and not tenants.
Compiled from the American Pet Products Manufacturers connection (Appma) 2007-2008 National Pet Owners Survey, 63% of household who own their home, have at least one dog. In addition, 34% of household who own their home, have a cat. The benefits of pet proprietary are well known. Most pet owners truly love their pets and appreciate their joyful greeting after we've been away, and know how much emotional withhold pets can lend. Isolated individuals reported that, because their pets are so trusting and dependent upon them, they feel needed and have a sense of purpose. With twenty (20) years experience selling condos in town City Philadelphia, I can attest to the fact that I have yet to meet a buyer who will favor any given condo construction over their pet. Said again, I have never met a buyer who will give up their pet to live in one specific building. Every time, they will omit the building- not the pet. Moreover, I have never met a buyer who said that they would Not live in a construction which allowed dogs. In the current buyers store of the town City condominium sector, does it not make sense for most associations to ease up on their restrictive pet policies? It no ifs ands or buts is going to work on the resale value and ability of those condos which are up for sale, or will be for sale in the future.
