3
3 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 $28,745 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5743 Springfield Ave is assessed at $142K but pays $315 a year — about 16% of the $1,991 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
