Historical tax record
$46K was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.
A separate historical parcel ledger ending in 2016 records $11K and a lien entry. It is shown as historical context only.

More than one public record deserves a current-status check.
Evidence: $45,504 appeared in the City's June 2022 delinquency snapshot · a lien number appears in the historical tax ledger through 2016
Limit: A screening signal, not a foreclosure prediction. Tax entries are historical and must be verified with Philadelphia Revenue.
The assessment jumped 64% in 2027, but no matching permit appears in the property timeline.
Evidence: assessment moved from $827,900 to $1,359,600 · no permit shown in 2026-2028
Limit: Not proof of unpermitted work; reassessment, corrected data, or a permit under another parcel can also explain it.
Transparent record rules, not a machine-learning forecast. A signal is a prompt to verify the cited record, not a prediction or allegation.
This is a commercial, recorded under the city's commercial category. The homeowner tools (rent estimate, homestead playbook) don't apply, so they're hidden. The full record and owner trail are below.

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.
