New food and drink combines L&I license types for restaurants, bars, cafes, and outdoor service. The City does not publish a reliable split among those uses.

Source: L&I business licenses, City of Philadelphia, data through Jul 28, 2026. A license reflects an L&I registration, not proof that a business is open, operating today, or physically at that storefront. Dates are license dates. Openings and closures are license events. The opening date is the earliest initial issue date after deduplication by OPA parcel, normalized business identity, and license type, so a renewal or transfer does not create another opening. Rental, limited-lodging, and vacant-residential registrations are landlord or residential-property filings. They are labeled separately and never counted as new businesses. Food and drink is the combined L&I subset for restaurant, bar, cafe, and outdoor-service license types. L&I does not publish a reliable split among those uses. Net-new food and drink means the parcel's first recorded L&I food-and-drink license. Earlier food uses before the published L&I record began cannot be seen, so net-new is record-based rather than proof that the location never previously served food. The current business_licenses table publishes specialized L&I license types, not a complete census of every Philadelphia business. The latest calendar year is partial and labeled year to date. Full-year YoY is not calculated into or out of the partial year. ZIP YoY is suppressed when the prior full-year count is below 8 license-opening events.

Possible food-and-drink openings in this ZIP

28 possible-opening record signals in this 12-month window. These are classifications, not confirmed announcements.

Inference, not an opening announcement. Possible-opening classifications are inferences from public permit and license records, not confirmed opening announcements. A permit is authorization for a stated scope, not proof that work occurred or finished. A license is an L&I registration, not proof that a business is open or operating. Food and drink uses the seven exact L&I license types already used by BlockReport. The City record does not support a reliable restaurant, bar, and cafe split. License renewals do not create new events. The opening date is the earliest initial issue date for a deduped OPA parcel, normalized business identity, and license type. Sources: L&I building permits and L&I business licenses, data through Jul 28, 2026.

Source: L&I building permits, City of Philadelphia, issue dates through Jul 28, 2026. A permit is a City authorization with a stated scope. It is not proof that work started, was completed, remains in place, or is in good condition today. Dates are permit issue dates. A qualifying issuance record has an issue date and a current normalized status other than Denied or Refused. Records currently marked Expired, Cancelled, Revoked, Withdrawn, or Abandoned remain in the historical issuance count; the metric does not describe active work. The public count is distinct OPA parcels with at least one qualifying permit record in an area, calendar year, and category. Amendments, reissues, and child trade records cannot make one parcel count twice in the same cell. Category counts are not additive because one parcel can have records in more than one category. Trade, minor-building, zoning, occupancy, operations, and sign records stay separate from core construction. They are not folded into a construction-boom claim. The latest calendar year is year to date through the source maximum and is never annualized. Full-year YoY is not calculated into or out of that partial year. ZIP YoY is suppressed when the prior full-year core-construction count is below 8 parcels. The source crosses the legacy HANSEN and eCLIPSE systems. A change in record granularity can move counts even when physical construction activity does not change. 859,510 of 926,013 qualifying permit records match a current OPA parcel. 859,323 (92.8%) also have a usable Philadelphia ZIP and can contribute to ZIP or block counts. 38,552 qualifying records lack an OPA ID, 27,951 have a nonblank ID that does not match the current parcel file, and 187 match a current parcel without a usable 191xx ZIP.

Where this comes from

Methodology & freshness

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. “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.
