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 $6,506 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2037 Aikens St is assessed at $144K but pays $954 a year — about 47% of the $2,017 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
