15
15 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 $276,314 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

220-24 S 3rd St is assessed at $3.7M but pays $19,980 a year — about 38% of the $52,032 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
