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 $62,805 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

277 S 57th St is assessed at $262K but pays $1,583 a year — about 43% of the $3,665 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
