24
24 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 $36,575 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5511 Addison St is assessed at $113K but pays $181 a year — about 11% of the $1,580 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
