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$0/year

2026 taxable assessment $0 × 1.3998%. Estimate—not a bill or account balance.

OPA also publishes a 2027 assessment of $68,300; 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 871537990
Open Philadelphia Tax Center →Choose “View period balance” to see the tax year and any credit, interest, or delinquency.
Exemption classificationHomestead exemption

2026 OPA removes $60,500 from the taxable assessment through the owner-occupant exemption. The exclusion reduces this assessment-based estimate to $0.

Historical delinquency sources Record found

$2,281.29 was recorded for this parcel in Philadelphia's June 2022 delinquency snapshot for 2019–2021. That amount may have been paid, reduced, or increased since; it is not a current payoff figure.

The snapshot’s 2022 context used $51,200 total assessment, $51,200 taxable, and $0 exempt/abated. Those historical fields can differ from today’s OPA exemption status.

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.

If you own it

$2,281 in the June 2022 delinquency snapshot

The City recorded this amount in June 2022. It may since have been paid, reduced, or increased; verify the current balance directly with Philadelphia Revenue.

  4. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 399812 · CLOSED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. City marked the record closed; open the case for the closing reason.

  5. ViolationCAL LO (Commercial Activity License required)

    Case 399812 · Violation 3387532 · Code 19-2602.1/1 · CLOSEDCASE

    Philadelphia Code §19-2602(1) requires a Commercial Activity License before conducting business in the city. City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

  6. ViolationPERM Z- NEW USE

    Case 399812 · Violation 3387533 · Code A-301.1/65 · CLOSEDCASE

    City marked the case closed; that does not mean the original condition never existed.

  7. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 399812 · FAILED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

  8. InvestigationBC INSP (likely: building-code inspection)

    Case 272342 · PASSED

    Legacy inspection shorthand; confirm the inspection type and scope in the City case file. The cited inspection visit was marked passed.

  9. AppealZBA Other

  10. ViolationNON-REGULATED LACKS PERMIT (The cited activity or use lacked a required permit)

    Case 272342 · Violation 2035163 · Code 14-1704/10 · COMPLIED

    The title alone does not identify the missing permit or prove the present use remains unauthorized. City marked this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

  11. ViolationCAL LO (Commercial Activity License required)

    Case 272342 · Violation 2035162 · Code 19-2602.1/1 · COMPLIED

    Philadelphia Code §19-2602(1) requires a Commercial Activity License before conducting business in the city. City marked this violation complied with; check the resolution date and live case for what was accepted.

  12. InvestigationBC INSP (likely: building-code inspection)

    Case 272342 · FAILED

    Legacy inspection shorthand; confirm the inspection type and scope in the City case file. The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

  13. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

  14. ViolationVACANT PROP STANDARD (likely: vacant-property enforcement standard)

    Case 191858 · Violation 1242311 · Code PM-306.0/1 · COMPEXCP

    A legacy L&I label associated with vacant-property requirements. It may concern licensing, securing, or maintaining a vacant structure; the notice and cited code control, and this row alone does not prove the property is vacant now.

  15. ViolationLICENSE-VAC RES BLDG (vacant residential building license required)

    Case 191858 · Violation 1242310 · Code PM-102.4/2 · COMPEXCP

    This usually records a requirement to obtain a Vacant Structure License for an unoccupied residential building. Check later license and compliance rows because it does not establish present vacancy or an unresolved violation.

  16. InvestigationHCEU INSP (Housing Code Enforcement Unit inspection)

    Case 191858 · FAILED

    A legacy L&I inspection label. The unit inspected housing for property-maintenance, fire-prevention, and related code compliance; the separate status says how that visit ended. The cited inspection visit was marked failed; later rows may show follow-up or resolution.

Where this comes from
Methodology & freshness

This report was assembled Jul 11, 2026, 4:30 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.
