The makeup of the block

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 $38,675 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1616-18 N Bailey St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $2,126 a year — about 10% of the $21,263 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
