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 $121,238 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

301 S 19th St is assessed at $26M but pays $269,500 a year — about 73% of the $370,034 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
