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 $31,668 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

515 Tasker St is assessed at $485K but pays $2,012 a year — about 30% of the $6,792 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
