6
6 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 $55,044 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1445 N 2nd St is assessed at $857K but pays $292 a year — about 2% of the $11,995 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
