This Kensington one-bedroom has some graceful details of the period such as a built-in niche with shelves alongside recent updates, including a renovated kitchen. It's on the fourth floor of 40 Tehama Street, a six-story, 75-unit brick elevator building. The apartment complex opened in 1939, according to the certificate of occupancy. The red-brick Streamline Moderne building detailed with vertical and horizontal lines of bricks was designed by busy architect firm Kavy & Kavovitt. Appointments at the time included Electrolux fridges, according to a contemporary ad.

"The process has been painful and really long, and residents are suffering through living in a building site. The promise of a 21st-century model estate is highly unlikely."

Residents reported seeing smoke rising from two manholes on Dahill Road, which led to an emergency evacuation as firefighters conducted checks in the area.
