I'm living in a 1 br. For me to downgrade the studio would have to be huge. And looking at the floorplans, I don't think they are huge at all. They look tiny compared to the 1 bedrooms.

And that's unfortunately not how it works re if a 1 bedroom opened up. The original log is maintained, and people who don't get an apt during initial occupancy are placed on a waiting list. Not that I would expect anything to open up for a decade...

Are you already rent-controlled?

According to the emails it seems we'll be waiting at least another month to get there. I'm hoping our process goes faster once they send us to HPD and viewings. Then maybe the overall length of wait will match up?
But American Copper has had a TCO for a while now.

Passed the inspection today. But I don't know what the inspection was for. Probably some things on the road to a permanent C/O, which I don't think we care about.

With your log number the only thing you should worry about is what food to serve at your housewarming party and whether you want a queen or a king-sized bed.
