City officials acknowledge they need more enforcement agents than the six inspectors and two supervisors currently assigned to conduct inspections on right-of-way permits, far fewer than some cities that are smaller than Philadelphia. There are plans to increase that number, but for the time being the online map is designed to be a resource to create accountability. The map is the first resource of its kind in Philadelphia. Prior to its creation, the only way to get street closure information was to contact Iffrig’s department.
