Real estate developer Ori Feibush has tried for years to acquire the city-owned lot near where he planned to open a new business, he says. An eyesore filled with trash, weeds, broken glass and other dangerous substances, it was undeniably a deterrent to potential customers.
“Feibush…submitted seven written requests for either owning or leasing the parcel, has called the [redevelopment] authority 24 times and has visited its office four times,” according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
Finally, fed up before the grand opening of his new coffee shop, Feibush decided to clean the lot himself.

They don't call it filthydelphia for nothing
Joe, some of your readers are so stupid. Witness 8:19 pm, who apparently does not know how to read.
I used to deliver CO2 in this part of Philly and I am familiar with this lot.Locals claimed it was intentionally off limits because of a grandfather clause created by local politicians in the 70's and 80's.According to locals,there were "issues" buried there that were better left alone.

Al Capone's Body, maybe?
A crackhead would have done the clean up at a cheaper price. The city owes him nothing but a thank you.
