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 $30,198 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1039 S 50th St is assessed at $266K but pays $3,283 a year — about 88% of the $3,725 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
