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 $60,518 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5601 Arlington St is assessed at $229K but pays $1,482 a year — about 46% of the $3,203 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
