OPA has published a 2027 assessment of $112,100. It is not the 2026 billed-year value.

Historical delinquency sources Record found

$78.25 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2017. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.

A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $511.66 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

DWIGHT JOHNSON JRInactive

Rental · Initial issue date Jun 29, 2018 · Terminal license date Aug 27, 2019

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 29, 2026, 11:25 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. 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.
