What stands out

From the public record
Finding

"Built 1900" is usually a placeholder

Why it matters

Philadelphia records use 1900 as a stand-in when the real construction year was never documented. Treat the age as unknown, not as 120+ years.

Finding

Assessment frozen for a decade

Why it matters

The 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.

Not a houseProperty report

This is a commercial, 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.

Where this comes from
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.
