12
12 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 $339,255 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

780 S 52nd St is assessed at $25M but pays $76,142 a year — about 22% of the $350,676 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
