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 $1,525 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5649 N 5th St is assessed at $353K but pays $4,533 a year — about 92% of the $4,934 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
