Episode Details

An apartment complex in Germantown illegally operated for two years without a license, leading to pushback from tenants when they found out. Host Trenae Nuri and senior creative producer Abby Fritz talk about how this happened, as well as the record-setting number of flood warnings the Philly area has been getting this year. Plus, in our final segment just for City Cast Philly Neighbors, we dive into the Labor Day events you should have on your radar if you'll be staying in the city for the long weekend.
