What's coming to this block

1 possible-opening record signal in this 12-month window. These are classifications, not confirmed announcements.

Inference, not an opening announcement. Possible-opening classifications are inferences from public permit and license records, not confirmed opening announcements. A permit is authorization for a stated scope, not proof that work occurred or finished. A license is an L&I registration, not proof that a business is open or operating. Food and drink uses the seven exact L&I license types already used by BlockReport. The City record does not support a reliable restaurant, bar, and cafe split. License renewals do not create new events. The opening date is the earliest initial issue date for a deduped OPA parcel, normalized business identity, and license type. Sources: L&I building permits and L&I business licenses, data through Jul 27, 2026.

Source: L&I building permits, City of Philadelphia, issue dates through Jul 27, 2026. A permit is a City authorization with a stated scope. It is not proof that work started, was completed, remains in place, or is in good condition today. Dates are permit issue dates. A qualifying issuance record has an issue date and a current normalized status other than Denied or Refused. Records currently marked Expired, Cancelled, Revoked, Withdrawn, or Abandoned remain in the historical issuance count; the metric does not describe active work. The public count is distinct OPA parcels with at least one qualifying permit record in an area, calendar year, and category. Amendments, reissues, and child trade records cannot make one parcel count twice in the same cell. Category counts are not additive because one parcel can have records in more than one category. Trade, minor-building, zoning, occupancy, operations, and sign records stay separate from core construction. They are not folded into a construction-boom claim. The latest calendar year is year to date through the source maximum and is never annualized. Full-year YoY is not calculated into or out of that partial year. ZIP YoY is suppressed when the prior full-year core-construction count is below 8 parcels. The source crosses the legacy HANSEN and eCLIPSE systems. A change in record granularity can move counts even when physical construction activity does not change. 859,563 of 925,970 qualifying permit records match a current OPA parcel. 859,376 (92.8%) also have a usable Philadelphia ZIP and can contribute to ZIP or block counts. 38,534 qualifying records lack an OPA ID, 27,873 have a nonblank ID that does not match the current parcel file, and 187 match a current parcel without a usable 191xx ZIP.

This compares City assessments, not sale prices or investment returns. Reassessment years are lumpy, and construction, demolition, subdivision, or classification changes can move a block median.

Property addresses identify the parcels represented by each grouped owner row. Individual names and mailing addresses stay hidden. For organizations, the mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill; "Registry" searches the recorded owner name in state incorporation records.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 27, 2026, 4:25 AM ET. Available City datasets are queried from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and the cited City ArcGIS feeds; record queries paginate rather than silently taking a first page. “Unavailable” means the source query failed or was not supplied, not “no record.” Reports re-pull on view after seven days and on an overnight rolling schedule; citywide benchmarks recompute weekly. Source dates still govern: the parcel-level tax-delinquency snapshot is June 2022 and the separate detailed tax ledger ends in 2016, so neither establishes today’s balance. The live balance and date-effective payoff must be verified in Tax Center. AI-written passages are grounded in the assembled record and rejected if they state a number the record does not hold.
