Figures Given Are Based on Actual Experien@ée, No Guesswork Entering the Calculations — Seven Rooms, Sun Parlor and Ga- rage at Annual Maintenance Charge of $328, Exclusive of Interest. By Stanley Mitchell. Moline Article ofa Series—This One for the Man Paying $2,000 a Year Rent.) This is the first article in a series to show you how to escape trom the clutches of the profiteer: ing landlord, Lawes against profitering area relief but not a cure forethe evil, which to-day hits every class of city dwellers from high salaried executives to poorly paid clerks, The real solution of the probd- lem is for every man to be his own landlord, The Evening World has made an investigation to learn how far it is possible for city dwellers to be their own landlords. The investigation Proves that you can own your own home and@ live in it for less money than you are now paying out in rent to some grasping owner. The articles will be published Mon- days; Wednesdays and Saturdays. They@yill ‘not be “ideal bungalow” schemes which have not progressed beyond the paper and ink stage but egch article will deal with an actual house of modern constryction, put up under present building conditions, which can be duplicated for the price as stated, None of the houses are for sale, and they are used only as examples of what a renter can get for his money if he will turn it into his own home. The figures on maintenance are not guess work but are the actual costs to the occupants, The house shown here demon- strates what can be done by the man paying about $2,000 a year rent in New York. ‘The house is in one of the hand- some suburbe on the Harlem Division of the New York Central, The com- mptation is $8 @ month, which of course figures as part of the cost of maintenance, The distance is well within motor reach, being about seventeen miles from Columbus Circle. F {| The house has seven rooms and bath—living room, dining room, kitchen, large sun parlor, three bed- rooms and bath upstairs, There is a garage under the sun parlor, the red and blue ‘blend giving the j house a bandwome appearance. The ‘soot is of slate, Decorations are of The construction is tapestry brick, | WOMAN 1S SOUGHT This Pretty 7-Room House With Site PLANS FOR $10,500 HOUSE. the highest olass. All interior finish is of hardwood; gas and electricity, with most modern features; hot water heating plant, tiled bathroom, with built-in tub and pedestal wash- stand. It \woukd be impossible to find an apartment in New York City ap- proaching this house for room, floor | Space, decorations and convenience for a rental anywhere near $165 ry month, or $2,000 a year. ‘The details which follow are based on the experience of a family that built the house in the accompanying picture last fall. Actual experience shows it re- quires eight and a half tons of coal to heat this house in a severe win- | ter, like the one just past. At $12 a ton, this makes the heating item come ‘to $102. Taxes, including wa- ter rates, are $108; operation of auto- matic gas water heater in warm weather, when heating plant is in disuse, adds about $10 a year to the gas Oill. Gas and electric bills range from $4 to $10 a month, but this is not properly part of the main- tenance charge, as the city fiat dweller has to pay these in addition | to the rent; insurance costs $12 a year and commutation adds $96 a year. ‘This brings the fixed charges to $328, exclusive of capital and in- terest . charges. @ house at it stands will cost $9,500 to duplicate. About $300 ad- dtional will pay for installing one of the ultra-modern oll heating plants, permitting the use of oil instead of coal. ith this system the entire heating plant is controlled from an upstairs room with a thermostat, a device operating on the principle of a clock. The fuel is put into an un- derground storage tank — outside, through a pipe from a tank wagon. There are no ashes to dispose of. The site cost $1,000 for 60x100, It can be duplicated in the same or ane other suburban community for ap- proximately that amount, according to the inclinations of the homeseeker. This brings the total investment in land and house to $10,500, The property will carry a. first mortgage of 60 per cent., or $6,300, and a second “reducing” mortgage of 20 per cent. or $2,100, This leaves $2,100, or only one year’s rent, for the initial investment. Here ig the way the interest works out: Interest on first mort; it. A SS 6 per 126 Interest on per cent. , Fixed charges, maintenance 6 $620 | 328 $948 ‘This leaves more than $1,000 a year, saved from the $2,000 yearly rent to pplied on the “reducing” mort- gage, wiping it out completely in two | years. | All contracting builders have con- nections with loan concerns, through which they can float first and second mortgages on the basis indicated in the foregoing. ‘The building cost of $9,500 is set by the architect who planned and super- vised the construction of this house, William 8..Moore, No. 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, He states that the figure Is large enough to allow a contracting builder a legitimate margin of profit, On Wednesday of this week The vening World will print fulb de- a home that can be built and maintained for less than the $1,500 yearly rent you are now SECOND COURT REPROVES LANDLORDS WHO Cannot Use Swollen Accounts as ‘Basis for Higher Rent— Eviction Writs Denied. Justice Jacob 8. Strahl of the Sev- enth District Municipal Court, Brook- lyn, played havoc to-day with the ex- pense bill of the Conservative Holding Company, landlords of the tenement houses at Nos, 1409 and 1416 Hast New York Avenue, Brownsville, when they attempted to raise their tenants’ rental 25 per cent. over the rate in March, 1920, According to the landlord's experts the expense of running the house was $8,480 a year and the increased rental they asked for would amount to $8,800. Judge Strahl reduced the schedule of expenses to $5,296 a year and allowed a 10 per cent, increase, which he declared would net the owners a profit of $1,746 or 13 per cent. return on their investment, The 10 per cent. increase will ‘bring the rentals to $7, tenants when they refused to pay the increase asked. Judge Strahl went himself to examine the pramises be- fore making the decision and de- scribed them as being in a most de- plorable state, Julius Applebaum, counsel for te Mayor's Committee, said, when he heard the decision; ‘It is a most important decision and it will teach landlords not to be so quick about bringing their tenants into court. It shows the power of the new laws in the protection of the tenant,” i FEW RENT EVICTIONS HERE Clty Marshals.
