2
2 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 $21,610 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5127 Valley St is assessed at $125K but pays $1,139 a year — about 65% of the $1,753 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
