What happens when I start Compliance Watch?
Each property you paid for opens in your dashboard with the most recent City-record read we have, and every record shows its source and the time we read it. A City source that hasn't answered shows as "Not checked yet" or "Couldn't check," never as clear; starting Compliance Watch doesn't mark it checked.
After setup, the workspace keeps facts read from City records separate from facts you confirmed. Unknown owner answers become unresolved work instead of a silent pass or failure. Dated tasks point back to the fact or answer that created them, and completed work stays in the activity history.
Compliance Watch adds scheduled daily City-record re-checks, alerts only after a successful fresh comparison establishes a supported change, and up to three reminders around 60, 30, and 7 days before the rental-license expiration date on City records, depending on when annual monitoring begins. It also adds monthly status messages and resolution history. Start from your free property result; the exact total is shown before payment.
Monitoring covers the City's public records only. It can't see private records or the things only you can confirm.

Philly Rental Compliance is an independent service, not the City of Philadelphia or a law firm. Answers about City rules summarize the City's published requirements as general information, not legal advice; requirements change, and future-effective provisions need a current check of implementation and litigation status. For legal questions about your situation, talk to a licensed Pennsylvania attorney.
