Question or correct this record

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

The estimate, live balance, and back-tax record are different.

BlockReport can calculate the annual tax from the City’s taxable assessment. Payments, credits, interest, and a current amount due live separately in Philadelphia Tax Center.

Estimated annual Real Estate Tax$1,890/year

2026 taxable assessment $135,000 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.

OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $97,600; it is not the 2026 billed-year value.

Official current account balanceCheck live

A Tax Center balance is net of bills, payments, credits, interest, and adjustments. A credit—or an amount due—is not automatically “back taxes.”

OPA 161163900

Exemption classificationNo exemption shown

2026 taxable assessment equals the full assessed value.

Historical delinquency sources Record found

This parcel did not match the June 2022 delinquency snapshot. That absence does not confirm the account is current today.

A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $5.30. It is shown as historical context only.

2016$5.30 total · $3.16 principal · $1.10 interest · $0.74 penalty

Finding

Marked vacant, but it just sold

Record summary

The assessor's condition code says vacant, yet a $108,000 sale was recorded in 2025. One side of the record is stale — condition codes come from drive-by field visits that can lag years behind.

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

Built 1915: 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.

Zoned RSA5: one household by right

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

$5 in the historical tax ledger through 2016

Historical context only, not a current payoff figure. Verify today's balance and lien status directly with Philadelphia Revenue before relying on it.

If you’re the landlord

If it is rented, verify the Rental License

The fetched license records do not show an active Rental License. Ownership type or a tax mailing address does not prove that tenants occupy the property; if it is rented, verify the current license and legal occupancy in eCLIPSE.

Derived from the fetched property records and linked City guidance as of 2026. Assessment treatment is not a substitute for an exemption approval, live balance, title report, license, occupancy certificate, or inspection. Informational only — not legal, tax, or investment advice.

Assessment and tax history

Every fetched annual City assessment for this house, compared with its block and ZIP. The figures show assessment change, the billed-year tax estimate, dated tax records, and recorded transfers. They do not estimate market appreciation or investment return.

What this record suggests

The City file documents 9 permits touching electrical work, plumbing, roof work. 8 carries a completed, issued, or approved status; that documents the filing, not the present quality of the work.

Flags: historical tax ledger through 2016 recorded $5. Informational only — not investment advice or a consumer report (FCRA).

Where the record looks off

Places where the city's own paperwork disagrees with itself. These are flags on the data — not problems with the property.

Marked vacant, but it just sold

The assessor's condition code says vacant, yet a $108,000 sale was recorded in 2025. One side of the record is stale — condition codes come from drive-by field visits that can lag years behind.

Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 11, 2026, 2:11 AM ET. Available City datasets are queried from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and the cited City ArcGIS feeds; record queries paginate rather than silently taking a first page. For this property: Permits: queried · Violations: queried · Investigations: queried · Appeals: queried · Licenses: queried · Building certifications: queried. “Unavailable” means the source query failed or was not supplied, not “no record.” Reports re-pull on view after seven days and on an overnight rolling schedule; citywide benchmarks recompute weekly. Source dates still govern: the parcel-level tax-delinquency snapshot is June 2022 and the separate detailed tax ledger ends in 2016, so neither establishes today’s balance. The live balance and date-effective payoff must be verified in Tax Center. AI-written passages are grounded in the assembled record and rejected if they state a number the record does not hold.
