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 $40,395 a year off the tax roll. Read the tax figures with that in mind.

918 Sigel St is assessed at $373K but pays $2,734 a year — about 52% of the $5,223 it would owe at the statutory rate, because its new-construction value is abated.
