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 $8,323 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3716 N 13th St is assessed at $116K but pays $221 a year — about 14% of the $1,621 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
