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

For a purchase, refinance, or closing, request the City’s official Property Payoff statement in Tax Center under “More options.”

GREENSTEIN & WEISMERInactive

Rental · Initial issue date Apr 3, 2004 · Terminal license date Jun 7, 2012

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.

  8. InvestigationBRU INSP

    Case 139950 · CLOSED

    City marked the record closed; open the case for the closing reason.

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

    Case 139950 · Violation 781831 · 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.

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

    Case 139950 · Violation 781830 · Code A-503.2/2 · COMPLIED

    Legacy L&I shorthand; the case notice contains the actual required correction and deadlines. City marked this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

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

    Case 139950 · Violation 781832 · 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.

  12. InvestigationBRU INSP

    Case 139950 · FAILED

    The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

  13. License issue eventGREENSTEIN & WEISMER: Rental landlord or residential registration initially issued

    License 220042 · Inactive

    License event. Registration does not prove present operation or storefront occupancy.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 26, 2026, 2:25 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.
