14
14 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 $37,795 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3426 Amber St is assessed at $125K but pays $346 a year — about 20% of the $1,746 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
