11
11 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 $54,151 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1113 S 23rd St is assessed at $563K but pays $3,470 a year — about 44% of the $7,886 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
