The Burholme Civic Association last week voted, 16-0, to oppose a proposal by a resident of the 600 block of Disston St. to convert an existing detached garage into office space.
The woman said she owns a daycare center on Castor Avenue and needs the home office space to perform work.
However, some residents believe that the woman could do that work in her house and plans to use the renovated garage as a rental unit.
In addition, some neighbors on Tyson Avenue and Bingham Street said the woman’s house plays loud music most nights.
A Zoning Board of Adjustment Zoom hearing is set for Sept. 27.
In other news from the July 13 meeting:
