  1. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 102844 · PASSED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. The cited inspection visit was marked passed.

  2. ViolationLICENSE-VAC RES BLDG (vacant residential building license required)

    Case 102844 · Violation 500615 · Code PM-102.4/2 · COMPEXCP

    This usually records a requirement to obtain a Vacant Structure License for an unoccupied residential building. Check later license and compliance rows because it does not establish present vacancy or an unresolved violation.

  3. ViolationPROSEC- STD INFO (likely: Standard enforcement or prosecution notice)

    Case 102844 · Violation 500614 · Code A-503.2/2 · COMPEXCP

    Legacy L&I shorthand; the case notice contains the actual required correction and deadlines.

  4. ViolationVACANT PROP STANDARD (likely: vacant-property enforcement standard)

    Case 102844 · Violation 500616 · Code PM-306.0/1 · COMPEXCP

    A legacy L&I label associated with vacant-property requirements. It may concern licensing, securing, or maintaining a vacant structure; the notice and cited code control, and this row alone does not prove the property is vacant now.

  5. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 102844 · FAILED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

Where this comes from
Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 28, 2026, 9:57 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. For this property: Permits: queried · Violations: queried · Investigations: queried · Appeals: queried · Licenses: queried · Building certifications: queried. “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.
