100 Properties, $32 Million, 1,102 Years
A map of real estate tax delinquency. Philly style.
View Philadelphia’s Biggest Real Estate Delinquencies in a full screen map
The above map features the 100 properties that represent the 100 largest real estate tax delinquencies in the City of Philadelphia, totaling more than $32 million over a cumulative 1,102 years of delinquency.
The biggest single account tops out at over $8 million, an amount accrued in just five years at 1499 South Christopher Columbus Boulevard, the site of the not-to-be Foxwoods Casino. Meanwhile, I’m guessing that taxpayers can bid adieu to the $4.8 million owed by the 20 properties that have been delinquent for 20 or more years, which include addresses at 15th and Market and on the 1300 block of Walnut Street.
