7
7 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 $75,350 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

4902 Walton Ave is assessed at $450K but pays $1,524 a year — about 24% of the $6,294 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
