An actress lived for decades in this NYC apartment – for $28 a month (2018)

O’Grady’s most recent landlord was Adam Pomerantz, who told CNN he bought the building in 2002 and was surprised to learn that one of his tenants was paying such a low rent. The previous owner had passed away several years before and the executor of the estate told Pomerantz that he never raised O’Grady’s rent because he liked her so much and that the two were great friends. Nevertheless, against O’Grady’s wishes he installed a $12,000 heating unit in the apartment — the equivalent of about 35 years of her monthly rent payments.
