10
10 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 $100,677 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1212 E Susquehanna Ave is assessed at $750K but pays $4,199 a year — about 40% of the $10,499 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
