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.

JAMAI ROBINSONExpired

Rental · Initial issue date Apr 30, 2010 · Terminal license date Feb 29, 2020

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.

  11. ViolationVACANT BLDG UNSECURED COUNT

    Case 174477 · Violation 1063315 · Code PM-306.2/1 · CLOSEDCASE

    City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

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

    Case 174477 · Violation 1063307 · Code PM-306.0/1 · CLOSEDCASE

    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. City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

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

    Case 174477 · Violation 1063304 · Code A-503.2/2 · CLOSEDCASE

    Legacy L&I shorthand; the case notice contains the actual required correction and deadlines. City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

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

    Case 174477 · Violation 1063305 · Code PM-102.4/2 · CLOSEDCASE

    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. City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 29, 2026, 4:24 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.
