9
9 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 $37,054 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

940 N 43rd St is assessed at $684K but pays $3,640 a year — about 38% of the $9,579 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
