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 $41,187 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2045-49 Trenton Ave is assessed at $1.6M but pays $5,898 a year — about 26% of the $22,878 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
