2
2 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 $19,448 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

236 S 44th St is assessed at $1.2M but pays $7,116 a year — about 44% of the $16,172 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
