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 $41,550 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

6981 Silverwood St is assessed at $704K but pays $3,680 a year — about 37% of the $9,856 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
