What stands out
From the public recordWhat to do with this
The record, translated into moves — what a buyer, the owner, and a landlord would each want to check next under Philadelphia's actual rules.
If you’re buying
The tax bill is temporary
Today's $1,140/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It jumps to about $5,701/yr in 2028 — $4,561/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.
If you’re the landlord
Licensed rental — keep it that way
Renewal requires city tax clearance and zero open L&I violations on the property. A lapsed license suspends the right to collect rent or evict.
Derived from this house's public records and the city's rules as of 2026 (abatement ordinance, Homestead, rental licensing, lead certification, L&I process, excavation protections). Informational only — not legal, tax, or investment advice.

The investment read
How this building has moved and where it's pointed: the city's assessed value (not a listing price) over 12 years, charted against its block; appreciation is that history's pace, and the 5-year figure simply extends it. Yield estimates rent-vs-price from area rents. Ask the record to dig into any number.

The abatement clock
This house pays about $1,140/yr under a 10-year tax abatement. In 2028 the bill reaches its full ~$5,701/yr — a step up of $4,561/yr, 1 assessment year out. Drag the slider.
now: ($407,300 assessed − $325,860 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $1,140/yr
2028: $407,300 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $5,701/yr
Flat 100% exemption (pre-2022 program, started 2018), then the cliff — reassessments move both lines. After expiry an owner-occupant can claim the Homestead Exemption (~$1,400/yr off); an abated home can't hold both.

Run the numbers
What owning 1210 N Front St takes, at your price and your rate. Taxes are this building's actual bill from the city record; rent starts at 2 licensed units × ~85% of the area's median unit rent — the whole building's income, not one unit's. Assessed value is not an asking price — set the price slider to the real one.
When this house last sold (2014) a 30-year mortgage ran about 4.17% — Freddie Mac's average that year.

Methodology & freshness
City datasets are fetched live from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and cached briefly. Dossiers re-pull automatically — on view once they're a few weeks old, plus a nightly rolling sweep — and citywide benchmarks recompute weekly. AI-written passages are generated from these records only and rejected if they state a number the record doesn't hold.
