I visited this building about a year and a half ago with my son Scott and his
Drexel friends who were interested in renting one of the apartments. There
were five kids in the group. I was very surprised by the "sleep rooms" and
also, when I asked the woman showing us around, "How many students are allowed in
the apartments? Doesn't L&I limit it to not more than 3 unrelated people?"
her reply was that the management would allow all five (even more!) and she
didn't know anything about L&I, but "Maybe it's okay because they're students?
For what it's worth...
This building (now called "The Crossings") was originally "renovated" to provide "dorm space" to Drexel, and "swing space" for Penn while the High-Rises were demolished and re-built. Consequently, it would not surprise me to discover that the building has a "dormitory" designation, not simply one of "apartments."
The original suite designs closely map those of the Penn and Drexel High Rises, where 4 or 5 to a "suite" is not abnormal.
I believe that Drexel has four or five floors which ARE officially part of their dorm system.
Penn's plan to demolish the High-Rises was dumped for financial reasons and Penn found it had all the "swing space" it needed for the resulting renovations from the acquisition of Sheraton.
