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 $69,674 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3401 Wallace St is assessed at $2.4M but pays $3,351 a year — about 10% of the $33,513 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
