What odd color choices for what is otherwise a decent building. White window- and door-frames would’ve made it far more appealing.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, black windows and doors are extremely in vogue right now.

Kudos for keeping rents at or below 100% of AMI. That excludes only half the neighborhood.
