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 $93,152 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1835-69 N 54th St is assessed at $5.4M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $74,891 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
