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 $35,649 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

626 Spruce St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $13,543 a year — about 63% of the $21,430 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
