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 $46,857 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

316 S 16th St is assessed at $1.3M but pays $2,673 a year — about 15% of the $17,821 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
