My three-story walk-up apartment in the West Village has some dreamy qualities: original exposed brick walls, classic crown molding, and a claw-foot tub. Perhaps best of all, it’s rent-stabilized, meaning annual rent increases are capped, and tenants retain the right to renew the lease each year. Rent for the one-bedroom, 380-square-foot space is about $2,000
