20
20 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 $196,949 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

722 S 19th St is assessed at $1.5M but pays $4,161 a year — about 20% of the $20,805 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
