Reading this house's deeds, permits and assessments…
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 analyst below to dig into any number.

Flags: tax-abated — the bill lags real value. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).
The abatement clock
This house pays about $1,451/yr under a 10-year tax abatement. In 2031 the bill reaches its full ~$7,254/yr — a step up of $5,803/yr, 4 assessment years out. Drag the slider.
Estimated from this parcel's assessment record (taxable vs. exempt split) at the 1.3998% millage and today's assessed value — reassessments will move it. Program inferred from when the exemption first appears (2021: pre-2022 flat 100% program). After expiry an owner-occupant can claim the Homestead Exemption (~$1,400/yr off); an abated home can't hold both.
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
Today's $1,451/yr reflects a 10-year abatement. It jumps to about $7,254/yr in 2031 — $5,803/yr more. Price the full bill, not the current one.
Single-family rowhouse (the classic Philly row). Converting to a duplex or apartments needs a use variance the zoning board rarely grants — Pennsylvania courts require a physical hardship of the lot itself, and economics alone do not qualify.
If you own it
An abated home cannot also take the Homestead Exemption. From 2031 it can — knocking about $1,400/yr off the full bill.
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.
