The Norristown Zoning Hearing Board approved application 75‑25, granting requested relief for an abandoned duplex at 18 East Finance Street and directing the applicants to pay back rental licensing fees dating from 2021 to the present.
Applicants Michael and Naomi Stockhausen testified they purchased the property in February 2021 and have been living in the units with family members; they said they had not previously been aware of Norristown’s licensing requirements. Municipal staff confirmed the site is in the Office Residential (OR) District and that records show rental licenses in prior years but none issued since 2021. The board approved the application and noted the applicants will need to address outstanding license obligations for the unit that requires a rental license.
The motion to approve included the understanding that the applicants must bring outstanding license fees current; the board recorded the approval during the meeting.
