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 $42,121 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1527 N 62nd St is assessed at $159K but pays $1,109 a year — about 50% of the $2,224 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
