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 $3,388 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1124 N 40th St is assessed at $158K but pays $1,100 a year — about 50% of the $2,209 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
