[eta: Wow, rent-controlled too! And he'd lived there since 1945 - I wonder what his rent would have been.]
A former super once told me about a Korean War Bride who had been in her rent-controlled apartment in my building for 50 years, and was paying something like $150/month. The husband had died years earlier. (FTR, my rent in that building was $1600/month.)

My upstairs neighbor on 4th Ave in Brooklyn lived sixty years in that building and was paying about $100/month for a whole floor of a brownstone (4 rooms and a kitchen). I was paying $900, and then $1350 after the owners sold it.
Of course, that's not quite as bad as the woman with the apartment in the swank West Village ($80 a month) who rented it out each summer for $600 thereby paying for her to go to Greece for two months.
