17
17 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 $21,656 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3116 N 29th St is assessed at $118K but pays $253 a year — about 15% of the $1,653 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
