This is probably not good news - but this was in the Inquirer this morning:

Not a lot of help for your situation. Good luck.

I can't get a straight answer from city employees at the OPA and Revenue Department. OPA tells me that the Revenue Department makes things official while the Revenue Department tells me that that is OPA's job... As a result of the city's initial over-valuation of our property, our family is faced with a huge escrow payment and hundreds more in monthly mortgage payments until we get official documents showing our new assessment and taxes. While we were able to successfully demonstrate to OPA that home's value should be lowered (our house still needs a lot of work), we are still stuck with a less than ideal financial situation until the city gets around to processing the paperwork. Sigh. Thanks for your guidance! Best, R. Mimi Iijima Support the Friends of Walnut Street West Library! <http://wswlibraryfriends.org/> WSWLibraryFriends.org
