5
5 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 $55,177 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

326-28 Monroe St is assessed at $1.1M but pays $8,226 a year — about 54% of the $15,122 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
