Historical delinquency sources No current conclusion

This parcel did not match the June 2022 delinquency snapshot. That absence does not confirm the account is current today.

Landlord and residential filings

These are property registrations or landlord filings, not businesses operating at this address.

JAMES M BENNETT (OPTIVEST HOLDINGS LLC)Active

Rental · Initial issue date May 15, 2008 · Filed expiration Feb 28, 2027

JAMIE PEARLSTEINInactive

Rental · Initial issue date Jul 13, 2004 · 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.

Open every source row 9 dated rows
  1. License terminal eventJAMIE PEARLSTEIN: Rental landlord or residential registration marked inactive

    License 212099 · Inactive

    License event. Registration does not prove present operation or storefront occupancy.

  2. InvestigationBRU INSP

    Case 147767 · CLOSED

    City marked the record closed; open the case for the closing reason.

  3. License issue eventJAMES M BENNETT (OPTIVEST HOLDINGS LLC): Rental landlord or residential registration initially issued

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

    Case 147767 · Violation 845281 · Code PM-306.0/1 · CMPLY

    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. ViolationVACANT BLDG UNSECURED COUNT

    Case 147767 · Violation 845282 · Code PM-306.2/1 · CMPLY

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

    Case 147767 · Violation 845283 · Code A-503.2/2 · CMPLY

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

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

    Case 147767 · Violation 845280 · Code PM-102.4/2 · CMPLY

    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.

  8. InvestigationBRU INSP

    Case 147767 · FAILED

    The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

  9. License issue eventJAMIE PEARLSTEIN: Rental landlord or residential registration initially issued

    License 212099 · Inactive

    License event. Registration does not prove present operation or storefront occupancy.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 27, 2026, 12:02 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.
