3 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 $62,046 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2016 Spruce St is assessed at $4.5M but pays $40,664 a year — about 64% of the $63,156 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
