What stands out
From the public recordAssessment frozen for a decade
Why it mattersThe assessed value hasn't moved once in 12 years of records while the city around it repriced. That usually means the parcel is falling through the reassessment process, not that its value is flat.
View supporting records →Not a houseProperty report
This is a place of worship, not a home, and it pays no property tax. BlockReport's value, tax and investment tools are for residential parcels, so they're hidden here. The full public record is still below, and the analyst can answer anything about it.

Methodology & freshness
City datasets are fetched live from OpenDataPhilly (phl.carto.com) and cached briefly. Dossiers re-pull automatically — on view once they're a few weeks old, plus a nightly rolling sweep — 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.
