528 N. Sixth St rooming units and carriage-house unit

Allentown

Description

Owners wanted to legalize three third-floor single-occupancy rooms (two under 250 sq ft), add a carriage-house apartment, and skip the required resident manager. Denied on hardship, parking deficit and overuse grounds; they may refile a narrower plan.

Impact summary

The Zoning Hearing Board denied it on Oct 26, 2026.

Keeps three existing affordable rooms technically unpermitted and blocks a new small apartment; the applicants are expected to return with a scaled-back request.
