7
7 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 $91,715 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1841-43 N 19th St is assessed at $2.3M but pays $5,135 a year — about 16% of the $32,281 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
