16
16 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 $94,219 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

3815 Wallace St is assessed at $800K but pays $2,240 a year — about 20% of the $11,198 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
