Open the City record ↗

No L&I business license is on record at this address in data through Jul 28, 2026.

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.

    Case 156352 · FAILED

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

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

    Case 156352 · Violation 1290295 · 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.

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

    Case 156352 · Violation 1290296 · Code A-503.2/2 · CMPLY

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

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

    Case 156352 · Violation 1290294 · 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.

  9. InvestigationBRU INSP

    Case 156352 · FAILED

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 28, 2026, 9:35 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.
