What is something you wish the public knew about being an inspector?

“We show up for your well-being… to make sure you’re good... That’s what our job is… It’s what we do.”

We’re sharing a few of our favorites that you probably didn't know you need a license for. 😉

Though some of these licenses may sound strange, there’s a reason behind each one. From alerting us of the need to inspect for fire safety to making sure the correct people are running the show – licenses exist to keep us all safe and orderly!

Big changes to eCLIPSE!

Beginning July 13, 2026, the Department of Licenses and Inspections has launched a redesigned eCLIPSE licensing system that is easier to use, faster to navigate, and more accessible.

Built with feedback from license holders, the updated platform makes it simpler to renew licenses, submit applications, and manage your business information online.

How we do our work matters just as much as the work itself.
At L&I QOL, every interaction is an opportunity to educate, build trust, and strengthen our communities. Whether we're meeting with a business owner, inspecting a property, or partnering with another City agency, our goal is to provide clear guidance, treat people with respect, and help achieve lasting compliance whenever possible.

Our inspectors work in every corner of Philadelphia, supporting neighborhoods through professionalism, collaboration, and a commitment to public service.

A well-maintained property does more than improve curb appeal—it helps create safer, cleaner, greener, and more welcoming neighborhoods.

Throughout the summer, Philadelphia's streets and neighborhoods have been bustling with residents, visitors, and community events. Simple steps like cutting high grass, removing trash and debris, repairing exterior hazards, and securing vacant properties help keep our communities looking their best.

Quality of life starts at the neighborhood level, and every property owner plays a role in making Philadelphia a city we're proud to call home.

Check out our Summer Property Maintenance Checklist and see how small actions can make a big impact.

So... where do we start? Would you watch? 👀

When people think of L&I QOL, they often picture a single inspector—but our work is powered by specialized teams dedicated to improving quality of life across Philadelphia.

From Fire Safety and Residential Code Enforcement to Vacant Property Inspections, Property Maintenance, and Business Compliance, each team focuses on a different aspect of keeping our neighborhoods safe, healthy, and vibrant.

While every unit has a unique role, we all share the same mission: providing quality code education and enforcement services that help make Philadelphia the safest, cleanest, and greenest large city in the country.

Not sure who to call?

Many quality-of-life concerns can be reported through Philly311, including unsecured vacant properties, excessive trash on private property, illegal auto repair operations, blocked fire exits, and other code violations.

Providing a detailed description and accurate location helps inspectors investigate more efficiently and determine the appropriate next steps.

If you see it, report it. Community members are often the first to identify issues affecting their neighborhoods.
