4
4 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 $33,229 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1416 S 54th St is assessed at $303K but pays $1,565 a year — about 37% of the $4,237 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
