13
13 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 $72,381 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5052-54 Walnut St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $6,058 a year — about 28% of the $21,637 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
