What stands out

From the public record
Finding

"Built 1900" is usually a placeholder

Why it matters

Philadelphia records use 1900 as a stand-in when the real construction year was never documented. Treat the age as unknown, not as 120+ years.

What 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 $0/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It jumps to about $8,341/yr by 2026 — $8,341/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.

Built 1900: lead rules apply

Federal law requires a lead-paint disclosure at sale for any pre-1978 home. If it will be rented, Philadelphia also requires a lead-safe or lead-free certificate before a rental license can issue.

If you own it

$487 in back taxes on record

Interest and penalties keep compounding until a Revenue payment agreement is in place — an owner-occupant agreement also stops the sheriff-sale track.

If you’re the landlord

No active rental license on file

If this property is rented, Philadelphia requires a Rental License (via eCLIPSE) — without it a landlord cannot legally collect rent or evict, and tenants can withhold. Licensing needs tax clearance and no open violations.

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 house 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 paper trail

New construction

built new (tax-abated), sold for $473K in 2026.

  1. 2026 $473KSold

Flags: tax-abated — the bill lags real value · $487 back taxes (2016, $9 of it interest & penalties) · long-held within one family. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).

The abatement clock

This house pays about $0/yr under a 10-year tax abatement. By 2026 the bill reaches its full ~$8,341/yr — a step up of $8,341/yr. Drag the slider.

2016: ~$4,468/yr2017: ~$4,468/yr2018: ~$4,468/yr2019: ~$4,468/yr2020: ~$4,468/yr2021: ~$4,468/yr2022: ~$4,468/yr2023: ~$4,468/yr2024: ~$4,468/yr2025: ~$4,468/yr2026: ~$0/yr2027: ~$0/yr201620262027
2027~$0/yrfrom the record

now: ($595,900 assessed − $595,900 abated) × 1.3998% ≈ $0/yr 2026: $595,900 assessed × 1.3998% ≈ $8,341/yr Flat 100% exemption (pre-2022 program, started 2016), 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.

Where this comes from

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.
