How to express that a piece of information is the knowledge from a certain date?
I would like to express that a piece of information corresponds to my knowledge at a given date without implying anything on the past or future validity of the information.
Example:
The house down the street is uninhabited.
According to this question I could add (as of 15 March 2019) at the end to say that it wasn't true recently but is true from now on. I would like to do the same without saying anything about the past or future. Adding only the date in parentheses seems a little ambiguous to me.
In case anyone is interested: The German equivalent would be (Stand vom 15.03.19).

"As of March 14" doesn't (necessarily) imply a change of status at that time but simply establishes when the observation was made.

To make it explicitly clear that you aren't saying anything about other times, you can say this:
The house down the street is uninhabited (at least as of 15 March 2019).
The use of at least qualifies the parenthetical information, indicating that you're only expressing certainty about date you specify, but leaving other times still in question.
