The Civic Center Hotel is an SRO hotel located at 12 Twelfth Street, on the corner of Market and Twelfth Streets.
Pricing
The price for a single room with shared bathroom facilities is $540. per month (as of 2003).
Residency
Tenants can not live at the Civic Center Hotel for more than 28 days without applying for residency. In general, the only requirement is that your income is at least 1.5 times the rent amount. If you do not apply for residency, you can move out for at least one day, and then you may move back in (28 day shuffle) if you like. The reason for this odd arrangement is that after 28 days, you are legally a resident, and are afforded certain rights (i.e.: you can not be thrown out), so the management wants to ensure that any long term tenants can continue to pay rent.
