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 $29,812 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1413 Shunk St is assessed at $453K but pays $2,978 a year — about 47% of the $6,334 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
