The Greater Strathmore Neighborhood Association

what is the story with brooklyn landlords constantly knocking on the door and dropping in for no reason as if you aren't paying them rent for the space.  i have never experienced these interruptions in any other city. 

If you are a subsidized tenant, meaning your rent is paid in full/part by a governemental agency, the landlords have a duty to the city regulators to "maintain" the apartment. Which means constant check ups/visits to your apartment.

If not, then your landlord is violating your tenants rights, and you need to file a formal protest with the local courts.
