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 $34,434 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

221 E Thompson St is assessed at $674K but pays $3,539 a year — about 37% of the $9,439 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
