5
5 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 $26,390 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1351 S 29th St is assessed at $265K but pays $1,039 a year — about 28% of the $3,709 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
