11
11 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 $85,546 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

4801-13 Stenton Ave is assessed at $5.8M but pays $9,572 a year — about 12% of the $81,120 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
