6
6 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 $213,500 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1133-37 N 4th St is assessed at $6.6M but pays $9,206 a year — about 10% of the $92,069 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
