11
11 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 $25,215 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2717 W Somerset St is assessed at $116K but pays $224 a year — about 14% of the $1,624 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
