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 $59,352 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2032-40 S 23rd St is assessed at $1.7M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $23,746 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
