The makeup of the block

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 $24,846 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

733 N 2nd St is assessed at $509K but pays $3,318 a year — about 47% of the $7,122 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
