Historical delinquency sources Record found

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

A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $5,011.94 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.

Marked vacant, but it just sold

The assessor's condition code says vacant, yet a $59,900 sale was recorded in 2023. One side of the record is stale — condition codes come from drive-by field visits that can lag years behind.

Assessment and sale price disagree hard

Assessed at $156K, but it traded for $59,900 in 2023 — a 2.6× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 23, 2026, 12:50 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.
