4
4 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 $62,656 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5025 N 15th St is assessed at $3.4M but pays $3,257 a year — about 7% of the $48,051 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
