Property tax
$112/year estimated property tax

OPA has published a 2027 assessment of $110,300. It is not the 2026 billed-year value.
Payments, credits, interest, and the current amount due are maintained by the City.
OPA 1223070002026 OPA removes $100,000 from the taxable assessment through the owner-occupant exemption.

$8,408.84 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2006–2019. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.

The snapshot’s 2022 context used $42,500 total assessment, $42,500 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 $8,495.63 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.
"Built 1900" is usually a placeholder
Philadelphia records use 1900 as a stand-in when the real construction year was never documented. Treat the age as unknown, not as 120+ years.

What L&I has registered at this OPA parcel, newest initial license date first.
No L&I business license is on record at this address in data through Jul 24, 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.

Methodology & freshness
This report was assembled Jul 25, 2026, 8:38 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.
