It might be interesting to see who owned the 94th street apartment. To my understanding, you don’t just show up in town and immediately blunder into an apartment to sublet long term, in NYC.
I agree with you. But how do you find out who owned it? Did people actually own apartments back in the early 80s?
All legal tenants are registered yearly by the landlord with either Department of Housing & Community Renewal (DHCR) or Rent Stabilized Apartments (RSA)
