I mean it has to be rent controlled. I can tell you that this building was truly awful until the past few years. There was a Chinese produce wholesaler who operated out of the bottom floor. Every morning at like 2-4 am there were dudes working on the sidewalk organizing produce and yelling at each other. When they left each day, produce had fallen all over, attracting only the most discriminating rats. The maintenance on the building appeared to be zero. I would walk by it most days and wonder why. That there must be rent controlled units in part of the building explains that to me now. Landlords are notorious for letting rent controlled and rent stabilized buildings rot.

Geez who could have predicted that? If only there were a social science that studied this sort of thing.

How long would it take to recoup the costs of renovating a rent controlled apartment when accounting for monthly expenses?

Depends how much they paid for the building.

Because she moved there in 1984 when it was nothing, laying the foundation for what Soho is today.
You are a late stage gentrifier.
If you want a cheap apartment in a hot neighborhood, be born in the early 1960's.

Where are you getting that she moved there in 1984?
Article said she lived there since 2007 and if you google her name it says shes 51 which means she would have been 13 in 1984

They pulled it right out of their ass. Couldn't you tell by the condescending attitude and backhanded insult?

I know, I was here, and my rent was $2,000 in the east village and know for a fact that things were not cheaper than that in SoHo, let alone for a full floor loft

Soho wasn’t 1280 a month back in 2007.
