In this week's feature, did you know that landlords in the City of Philadelphia have specific responsibilities when it comes to snow removal?

To make this process easier for our tenants, we encourage you to reach out to our maintenance team or your property manager to get added to Del Val's snow removal list. This affordable service allows you to sit back carefree, knowing that we are taking care of the snow removal on your behalf.
