Sounds like HUD is being strict in order to avoid slum owners. Hopefully the towers can be turned around! Before, renting a loft at Broderick I had looked into buying a place in the 1300 building, however, the woman who showed us around told us there was no available financing at the time, everything must be paid cash [[yikes!). I then looked into the Pavilion, which is a great space, but no dogs allowed. Lafayette is a great neighborhood and one where I think anyone can feel safe. Hopefully these two towers are brought up to the standards of the rest of the area.
