3
3 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 $303,763 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1701 N 2nd St is assessed at $17M but pays $23,426 a year — about 10% of the $234,266 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
