The makeup of the block

6
6 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 $24,839 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1942 N 32nd St is assessed at $542K but pays $2,731 a year — about 36% of the $7,586 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
