4
4 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 $13,985 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

117 N Vogdes St is assessed at $121K but pays $300 a year — about 18% of the $1,699 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
