• Signing in for alerts now explains what you get: lottery and re-rental alerts for the boroughs you pick, in-app notifications and emails at 8 AM daily, and a Get Plus button for instant ones. • Typing your email lifts the email and password fields above the keyboard. • The Search button sits above the price row. • Shorter alert wording on Lotteries and Re-rentals. • New York buildings show a "StreetEasy ↗" button. • On iPad, the sign-in sheet is taller so every link fits.

• Real-time alerts with Find A Crib Plus — re-rentals go first come, first served, so Plus alerts you the minute one opens. Every other account gets a round-up at 8 AM. • Swipe through a re-rental's photos. • Every building has one button that opens its address on StreetEasy (New York) or Zillow (other cities). • Your household income now lives in Edit boroughs and sets the "what you qualify for" filter. • Your income and application packet are stored more securely on this phone.

Find A Crib Plus is back, with new tools: • Search in plain words — type “2 bed under $2,500 near Prospect Park, no violations” and every filter sets itself. • Help me apply — each re-rental's steps, the documents to gather and a ready-to-send email to the agent. • Is this rent fair? — an asking rent checked against the neighborhood and HUD's fair-market rent. New subscribers get their first month on us. For every account: • What do I qualify for? — enter your household size and income once; lotteries and re-rentals show whether you're in range. • Application packet — scan your documents with the camera, keep them on this phone, and email them to an agent in one go. • The Beds filter now shows only re-rentals that have that size. • Managing-agent phone numbers, bedbug and rodent records, and borough alerts come with an account.

Find A Crib is now an iPad app as well as an iPhone one — the same maps and listings on a bigger screen. More cities: Chicago, Miami, Atlanta and Philadelphia income-restricted buildings, plus New Jersey affordable-housing drawings, with Lotteries tabs for Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami-Dade too. New Events tab: the City's own tenant clinics, housing workshops and lottery information sessions in New York. Pest violations on every New York building page: the roaches, mice, rats or bedbugs an HPD inspector confirmed this year. More re-rentals, including NYC HDC's official list, filterable by bedrooms, with photos on lottery cards. Find A Crib Plus now includes no ads.

Find A Crib is now an iPad app as well as an iPhone one — the same New York on a bigger screen, with lotteries and re-rentals side by side. New Events tab: the City's own tenant clinics, housing workshops and lottery information sessions, with the borough, the date and how to get in. Pest violations on every building page: the roaches, mice, rats or bedbugs an HPD inspector actually confirmed inside an apartment this year. The two older records now say what they really are — the landlord's annual bedbug filing, which runs about a year behind, and the Health Department's rat inspections. Lotteries and re-rentals can be filtered by the number of bedrooms you need. Comments lead with the most-liked one, with a single reply under each.

Comments: say what a building is really like — the heat, the super, the block — and read what other renters say. Sign in to join; every comment can be reported or blocked. New Lotteries tab: every NYC Housing Connect lottery and income-restricted re-rental open in the boroughs you get alerts for, soonest deadline first, with the rent, sizes and income range — and a "Your income fits" badge when the income you gave matches. Building pages now lead with violations and inspections; the About section moved to the bottom. Tapping an alert opens Find A Crib on every new listing in it, instead of jumping straight to one website. Signed-in users stay signed in from the first screen, and a few small fixes.

Alerts on your phone. Turn on alerts and the minute a housing lottery or re-rental opens in your borough, it arrives as a notification on your iPhone, alongside the email. Tap it to go straight to the listing. Re-rentals in your results. Income-restricted apartments that HPD-approved marketing agents are re-renting right now appear in the list, marked Rerental, with a button to apply on the agent's site. They go fast and are not on the big listing sites. The map follows you. Pan or zoom and the count shows how many buildings are in view; tap List to see just those. A skyline for every city. Pull down on your results for New York, San Francisco, Washington DC and Los Angeles landmarks under a night sky. Faster launch, smoother map, quicker filters, and the header now names the city you are searching in.

Every city now has a building record, not just New York. Los Angeles: housing code violations with what was cited, complaints to LAHD, eviction notices marked at-fault or no-fault, tenant buyouts with the payment — and neighborhoods, so you can finally filter by one. San Francisco: eviction notices with the grounds cited, Rent Board petitions and buyout agreements for the block, plus the reported rent split by bedroom count. Washington DC: the owner on the tax roll, the year built, the unit mix and the assessor's condition. Where a city publishes nothing, the app now says so rather than leaving a blank.

Small improvements behind the scenes. Find A Crib covers New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC: pick a city and see every rent-stabilized building on one map, with what's for rent this week, violations, the managing agent and open lotteries in New York.

Find A Crib now covers four cities. - Pick a city — New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington DC — then narrow it the way that city is divided: by borough in New York, by neighborhood in San Francisco and DC, by area in Los Angeles - Each city comes from its own public register, and says so - New York keeps everything it had: what's for rent this week, HPD violations and complaints, the managing agent, and open lotteries - A new app icon, and the app now matches it - Bedrooms filter is always available, the results headline counts the stabilized buildings on screen, and setting up an alert works reliably
