3
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 $16,968 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

2850 Tulip St is assessed at $259K but pays $1,856 a year — about 51% of the $3,623 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
