36
36 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 $2,117,090 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

500-06 Walnut St is assessed at $17M but pays $19,037 a year — about 8% of the $237,966 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
