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 $14,055 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

121 Monroe St is assessed at $330K but pays $2,415 a year — about 52% of the $4,625 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
