4
4 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 $39,030 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

243 S 45th St is assessed at $2.0M but pays $26,489 a year — about 92% of the $28,637 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
