Program description

PB Inspect (operated by Penn Treaty Properties (PhillyBricks)) sends operational text messages — inspection scheduling and reminders, co-sign and signature requests, report-ready and status notifications, and account messages — to tenants who opt in. These messages are operational and transactional; we do not send marketing texts.

How tenants opt in (consent)

Enrolling in text alerts is optional and separate from your lease. It is never a condition of renting, of using PB Inspect, or of completing any transaction — every notice we text is also delivered by email or in your tenant portal, so text messaging is only an optional convenience. Choosing not to enroll, or later opting out, has no effect on your tenancy.

A tenant's mobile number is added to this messaging program only through a single voluntary, web-based method: our public tenant sign-up page. Creating a tenant account there is the primary purpose of the page; text messaging is an optional add-on. To enroll, the tenant checks an SMS consent box that is unchecked by default and must affirmatively check it — creating the account does not enroll the tenant in text messages. New tenants complete this same form as a follow-up after move-in.

The disclosure shown reads: “I agree to receive recurring SMS text messages from Penn Treaty Properties (PhillyBricks) regarding inspection scheduling, reminders, report links, and maintenance notices for my rental unit. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of tenancy.” Privacy Policy and Terms links appear on the same page. We record the date and time of each opt-in.

Opting out is always available: reply STOP to any message. Turning texts back on is done only through the sign-up page above.

We do not purchase, rent, or message phone numbers obtained from third parties. Only tenants with an active lease relationship with Penn Treaty Properties (PhillyBricks) are eligible to enroll.

Types of messages you may receive

• Move-in, move-out, and mid-lease inspection scheduling and reminders.
• Co-sign and signature requests, and secure links to review and sign an inspection report.
• Report-ready and status notifications, confirmations, and account messages.
• Seasonal maintenance reminders (e.g., air-filter changes and smoke/CO-detector checks).

Sample messages

• “PB Inspect: Your move-in inspection report for 1234 Main St #2 is ready to review and sign: [link]. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”
• “PB Inspect: Reminder to change your air filter this month and upload a photo here: [link]. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.”

Message frequency

Message frequency varies. You will typically receive only a few messages per quarter, around inspection and maintenance windows.

Cost

PB Inspect does not charge for these messages. Message and data rates may apply.

How to opt out (STOP)

Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. After you send STOP, we send a single confirmation message and then stop sending texts to that number.
