7
7 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 $49,297 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2600 E Somerset St is assessed at $457K but pays $4,017 a year — about 63% of the $6,397 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
