7
7 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 $55,203 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

786 N 25th St is assessed at $654K but pays $8,458 a year — about 92% of the $9,152 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
