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 $11,518 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2039 N American St is assessed at $227K but pays $286 a year — about 9% of the $3,173 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
