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 $16,082 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

5818 Theodore St is assessed at $192K but pays $2,004 a year — about 75% of the $2,688 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
