SRO

The city now leases 18 SRO units and is adding 25 tiny homes.

In the morning Omura picked up client Karen Ford at her hangout at a mini-mall and drove her to an SRO in Wilmington.

Three SRO hotels owned by the trio were left nearly empty and Pustilnikov had troubles with oversight and financing for other low-income properties in the neighborhood.

For every set, though, walls were never moved for the camera’s sake, “so you’re true to the claustrophobia,” says Gropman, and in the case of the dingy New York SRO, “the meanness of that space.”

Five SRO Housing Corp. properties are so damaged that city housing officials put them in a program reserved for problem landlords.
