What stands out

From the public record
Finding

Homestead exemption, mail goes elsewhere

Why it matters

The parcel claims the homestead exemption (owner lives here) while the tax bill mails to 109 Bayshore Dr, Ocean City Nj, 08226. Those two facts sit in tension on the record — there can be innocent reasons, but one of them is usually out of date.

The investment read

How this house has moved and where it's pointed: the city's assessed value (not a listing price) over 12 years, charted against its block; appreciation is that history's pace, and the 5-year figure simply extends it. Yield estimates rent-vs-price from area rents. Ask the record to dig into any number.

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.
