It seems like you're missing atmosphere... I wouldn't really know what to add, but it just looks too fake. :\

^^This is the reason I posted this here. It feels really fake to me too, but I don't know what to mess with. I was hoping for some fresh eyes
Details I did noticed after I rendered it large that:
-there is a weird shadow over the 2nd story window's bars
-there is a weird "line" where light stops in the extruding street
-I completely forgot the light fixture for the light
-the texture for the building trim is actually pretty bad.
I'm going to try to work these out when I get time

The dumpster scene.
What you should do is render out the scene as just lighting with no shadows. Then do a separate pass with the occlusion and then add them together in photoshop. Makes scenes look alot better however it weakens normal maps sometimes.
It looks great, in my opinion. I like the puddles w/reflections. The light fixture is a pretty minor fix along with the specular of the trash bags. It looks like you pulled together a nice set of diffuse and normal maps for the bricks.
It could use some work, but it looks great so far.
Edit: Some crappy forerunner trim I managed to make. I tried making my own diffuse this time. I'd have an epipen ready if you are allergic to fail.

Take 2: Turned off Final Gather, and used Default render instead of Mental Ray. Tweaked a few more things.
Nah, looks like he's trying to imitate tungsten lights, in which case more orange is needed.
