4
4 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 $36,946 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5800 N 16th St is assessed at $1.7M but pays $12,571 a year — about 52% of the $24,036 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
