2
2 properties on this block carry a tax abatement or major exemption. New construction and gut rehabs get the improvement value exempted for up to 10 years, so their tax bills sit far below their real value — block-wide, exemptions keep about $105,974 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

12-20 S 23rd St is assessed at $12M but pays $134,935 a year — about 81% of the $166,541 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
