2
2 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 $18,000 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1723 Wagner Ave is assessed at $165K but pays $1,530 a year — about 66% of the $2,311 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
