11
11 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 $85,027 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

871 N 28th St is assessed at $545K but pays $4,520 a year — about 59% of the $7,635 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
