These are the sort of questions that Geographic Info Systems (GIS) applications are built to answer. They will have functions to identify if a place is within another or if parcels share a border.
There are 2 free ones I know of: QGIS.org and PostGIS.net.
Then you use the shapefile of gdb file downloads from open data sources as input.
Hope this helps.

Reed,
QGIS is pretty daunting. I generally use a PostGIS and postgresql combo to pull the files from Open Philly (using the SRID of 2272 to synch the location data) into tables. PostGIS generates a geom (meaning a geolocation-code) column in the table that the program uses to identify locations of records in relation to other records, such whether a parcel is within a ward, zipcode, or perhaps council district . That combo has fewer buttons and menus, but still has a learning curve that might be higher than necessary to get your answer if you can find another source.
The OPA table has ward data associated with parcels. It looks as if the Committee of 70 link might provide the listing you need to go from the OPA wards to the Districts.
Good luck!
