5
5 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 $42,986 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

1941 S 13th St is assessed at $409K but pays $1,659 a year — about 29% of the $5,725 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
