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 $25,708 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

610 N 23rd St is assessed at $881K but pays $4,065 a year — about 33% of the $12,329 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
