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 $28,237 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5301 Wakefield St is assessed at $102K but pays $32 a year — about 2% of the $1,432 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
