BlockReport can explain a discrepancy, but it cannot rewrite an official City record. Use the agency that owns the underlying fact:

Verify the current balance before relying on it.

The June 2022 delinquency snapshot was not verifiably available in this cached report. No conclusion about a match—or today’s balance—can be drawn from that absence.

A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $80. It is shown as historical context only.

What stands out

From the public record
Finding

Assessment and sale price disagree hard

Why it matters

Assessed at $151K, but it traded for $36,100 in 2025 — a 4.2× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.

Records to verify together

Rule-based groupings across this property's dated public records. Each flag shows the records that belong in the same verification step and where the inference stops.

Dated record flagAssessment/permit mismatch

The assessment jumped 88% in 2025, but no matching permit appears in the property timeline.

Evidence: assessment moved from $80,400 to $151,000 · no permit shown in 2024-2026

Limit: Not proof of unpermitted work; reassessment, corrected data, or a permit under another parcel can also explain it.

Transparent record rules, not a score or forecast. Each flag is a prompt to verify the cited records, not a prediction or allegation.

An empty lot: no building, just the land and its paper trail. The homeowner tools don't apply; the deed history, owner and zoning are below, and the analyst can trace what the owner holds citywide.

Where this comes from
Methodology & freshness

Available City datasets are queried from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com), then reports are cached and refreshed on a rolling schedule. Source dates vary: the parcel-level tax-delinquency snapshot is June 2022 and the separate detailed tax ledger ends in 2016, so neither establishes today’s balance. Other dossiers re-pull on view once stale, 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.
