16
16 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 $41,740 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

137 N 54th St is assessed at $217K but pays $615 a year — about 20% of the $3,040 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
