Historical delinquency sources Record found

$1,786.94 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2014–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.

The snapshot’s 2022 context used $17,500 total assessment, $17,500 taxable, and $0 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.

A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $1,287.21 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

Where the record looks off

Conflicts in City paperwork. Flags on the data, not the property.

Assessment frozen for a decade

The assessed value hasn't moved once in 12 years of fetched records. That can reflect a genuinely unchanged assessment or a record that has not been updated; the public roll alone does not establish which.

Vacant Residential Property / Lot · Initial issue date Oct 6, 2005 · Terminal license date Dec 22, 2012

A license is an L&I registration, not proof that a business is open, operating today, or located at this storefront. Dates are license dates. Events are deduped by parcel, business identity, and license type, so a renewal is not shown as another opening. Other permit and filing types remain in the full source ledger.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 24, 2026, 5:15 PM 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.
