I posted this as a stand-alone post, but a mod suggested I also post it here for the traffic. It’s not totally “new to Philly”, but I am seeking local knowledge on building codes/practices/oversight.

The summary is that a high-rise construction site adjacent to us dropped something on our roof and broke our skylight (thankfully it's still intact, just severely cracked and raining glass on us). They are fixing the damage for us. This site is massive and has already done some other stuff that inconvenienced us, like breaking water mains and working outside of noise ordinances. My roommate and I are a bit vengeful, and are fed up, so we're wondering if there are local (or even state) agencies to report this construction site to for violations? We already did a 311 call, but nothing more.
