6
6 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 $90,391 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3609 Spring Garden St is assessed at $3.2M but pays $4,509 a year — about 10% of the $45,088 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
