I'm pretty sure this is one of the last buildings to have the poor door before they changed the law, so you're good!

I actually like the poor door. No judgmental doormen.

Yeah, I'm way too desperate to get out of my current situation to be deterred by the indignity of a poor door. Not everyone is though, which makes me happy for them and happy for me because it makes my chances slightly better.

You are right my building has affordable units all over the building,I happen to be on the 1st floor. facing the court yard,and I love it .no street noise.but I know folks in wheelchairs up on the upper floors. again I like my 1st floor cause I can get in and out of the building with ease.and only one apartment near mines.

Most of the buildings you have to pay for some of the amenities if you get in under affordable housing,my building is one of them

that's part of the reason i like the poor door arrangement, there is no additional fee for the gym. though i cant imagine the laundry would be free.

If I am fortunate to get a lease in a new building/apartment I am not worrying about amenities. I would be thankful for a new apartment in a decent building/neighborhood.
