The makeup of the block

9
9 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 $59,165 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1218-22 Snyder Ave is assessed at $2.0M but pays $8,510 a year — about 30% of the $28,627 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
