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 $9,423 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1237 S 32nd St is assessed at $157K but pays $302 a year — about 14% of the $2,202 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
