3
3 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 $437,048 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1201 Vine St is assessed at $34M but pays $168,048 a year — about 35% of the $479,739 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
