12
12 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 $12,415 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

100 E Sterner St is assessed at $83K but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $1,158 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
