3
3 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 $14,861 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

108 N 50th St is assessed at $290K but pays $2,075 a year — about 51% of the $4,059 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
