2
2 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 $105,656 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3211-27 Cedar St is assessed at $5.5M but pays $17,745 a year — about 23% of the $77,370 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
