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 $17,759 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3006 S 16th St is assessed at $302K but pays $1,806 a year — about 43% of the $4,229 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
