9
9 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 $23,182 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3435 N 16th St is assessed at $114K but pays $195 a year — about 12% of the $1,594 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
