Go to http://brtweb.phila.gov
If that link doesnt work go to http://www.phila.gov and click on the link "view property information" on the left hand side.
You can search by individual addresses or by entire blocks.

Contact the County or City Department of Housing Authority.

It's in the tax records of wherever you live. You might be able to find out online, or you might have to go to wherever those records are kept and research it.
If you have a realtor friend, they can do it for you online.
Then you'll know whether it's owned by an individual, or about to be sold for back taxes.
Those sales are usually advertised in local papers in the classified section.
Good luck!

The county I live in has a on-line data base with the county/ city tax office. I type in the address and it has who owns it. Sometimes you can get property for back taxs owed.

It should be a matter of public record. Call the local city hall and ask how you can check the public records.

previous answer is correct. But you can also try taking the boards down and putting your own up.

Knock on the door.
That's the old fashioned method of contacting people at their homes.
But if you're a real new-school kind of kid, ring the doorbell.
