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 $44,796 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1328 S 31st St is assessed at $454K but pays $2,455 a year — about 39% of the $6,348 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
