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 $3,391.84 and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

  1. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 452691 · CLOSED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. City marked the record closed; open the case for the closing reason.

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

    Case 452691 · Violation 3328085 · Code PM-102.4/2 · COMPLIED

    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 this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

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

    Case 452691 · Violation 3328094 · Code PM-306.0/1 · COMPLIED

    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 this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

  4. ViolationEXT A-CLEAN WEEDS/PLANTS (Cut or remove weeds and overgrowth from the exterior area)

    Case 452691 · Violation 3328097 · Code PM-302.3/1 · COMPLIED

    City marked this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

Where this comes from
Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 29, 2026, 5:34 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.
