About the property check

Where does this data come from?
Every check runs live against City of Philadelphia open data: the AIS address service, the Office of Property Assessment (ownership, year built, property type), L&I business licenses (rental license status, units, CAL), L&I violations, the unsafe and imminently dangerous case lists, Health Department lead certifications, and L&I Certificates of Rental Suitability.
How do I look up a Philadelphia rental license by address?
Type the address above. We match it to its OPA account number, then pull every rental license record tied to that parcel, including status, license number, unit count and expiration date.
Does the check show my lead certificate?
Yes. We read the Health Department lead certification records for the property: lead-safe, lead-free, exempt, pending or expired, with the expiration date. What we cannot see is your city tax balance, which is not published per property, so we confirm tax clearance during intake.
The result says I am at risk. What now?
Click "Fix it for me" and we take the address, unit count and findings straight into your intake. A coordinator reviews it within one business day.
