Neighbors Checklist: Landlords

Rehab, don’t demo, unless it’s an abomination. Whatever you build, make your neighbors proud to live next to your building.
If you buy a building, try to buy a mixed-use building and rent the commercial space to a neighborhood-positive business.
If you rent space in a building you own, live in the building or at least the neighborhood.
Get rid of the fence in front of your building, or at least minimize it to make your building approachable.
Follow the building code.
Turn your common spaces, like the stairwell or vestibule or yard, into art galleries that showcase local artists.
Install an easy-access bicycle and stroller room for everyone.
