5
5 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 $133,753 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

728-62 N 44th St is assessed at $7.0M but pays $0 a year — about 0% of the $98,421 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
