2
2 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 $30,360 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

8016 Anderson St is assessed at $706K but pays $9,014 a year — about 91% of the $9,878 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
