When rent control ended in Cambridge, my elder brother Carl had the good fortune to end up in yet-affordable Chelsea. When Carl's first Chelsea landlord suddenly passed away, Carl moved to an ADR apartment.
ADR's Rick Gopen, eminently qualified to be an attorney, took over the family business and has been Carl's landlord for the past 20 years, starting when Carl was 58. Mr. Gopen not only has been on top of every issue brought to his attention, he has selected respectful and friendly tenants that make me glad Carl lives in a safe neighborhood and supportive community Mr Gopen, in his wisdom, has had a hand in creating, like generations of Gopens before.
Both Carl and I are grateful he lucked out when Carl got Mr Gopen as his landlord. More landlords should be like him. read more
