9
9 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 $454,882 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

620-34 N 15th St is assessed at $26M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $360,066 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
