Safety & quality of life

Within 200 metres of the block over the last 12 months: 1000 reported crimes (about 83 a month, 17% of them violent) and 478 resident 311 requests to the city. A busy commercial corridor logs far more than a quiet residential block, so read this against nearby blocks, not the citywide total.

Philadelphia Police incident reports and 311 service requests within 200m, trailing 12 months. Reported location, not necessarily where an incident occurred.

Indexed performance · this block vs. the Philadelphia market

Who owns it

The mailing address is where the assessor sends the tax bill — for an LLC, often the closest public record gets to the person behind it. "Registry" searches the owner's name in state incorporation records (OpenCorporates).
