What stands out
From the public recordAssessment and sale price disagree hard
Why it mattersAssessed at $761K, but it traded for $2,750,000 in 2025 — a 3.6× gap. Could be a non-market deed the record doesn't label, or an assessment that hasn't caught up.
View supporting records →What the record is signaling
Early patterns mined across this property's dated public records. Each flag shows what triggered it and where the inference stops.
Public-record pressure
More than one public record deserves a current-status check.
Evidence: 2 open L&I violations · failed L&I inspection activity in 2026
Limit: A screening signal, not a foreclosure prediction. Tax entries are historical and must be verified with Philadelphia Revenue.
Post-purchase work pattern
A recorded purchase followed by 1 permit event matches the early part of a renovate-and-resell sequence.
Evidence: purchase recorded in 2025 · permit activity in 2025
Limit: This does not show that the property is listed or that a sale is planned.
Transparent record rules, not a machine-learning forecast. A signal is a prompt to verify the cited record, not a prediction or allegation.

Methodology & freshness
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.
