Philadelphia currently follows the 2017 NEC (National Electrical Code).

From a practical standpoint, having each appliance on its own dedicated circuit is certainly easier, especially fault finding, especially if you have enough spaces open in your panel.

The panel space is way less of an issue than having to hire someone to run the wires and install the breaker (since the fact that I have these questions proves I shouldn't do that work). But it's good to know Philly follows the 2017 code without modification; that's super useful.

Here's a link to the codes Phila currently follows. To the best of my knowledge, only the plumbing code is markedly different from the national codes.
