6
6 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 $50,556 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

844 Almond St is assessed at $441K but pays $3,099 a year — about 50% of the $6,168 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
