When Sampson Dahl, 28, found a former laundromat in Maspeth, Queens on an online forum back in 2019, he had no idea how much the space would become his life. Early last year, CNBC Make It met Dahl after his former laundromat-turned-apartment went viral on TikTok. At the time, he was paying $1,850 a month — his rent has since increased to $1,900. "I've gotten to focus on the space a lot, so I've been throwing shows, events, and intimate gatherings almost weekly at this point," Dahl tells CNBC Make It. "It's been a great opportunity to kind of dive into the space more."

"I think a space should be an imperfect representation of the people who are in it at that moment in their lives." A former tenant added a small kitchen that gives Dahl enough space to have a sink, stovetop, and toaster oven. It's because of that philosophy that Dahl has made it so that his living space is open to others. "People are looking out for me more than I'm looking out for myself, and that's a true community. I knew true community as a child, and I know it again now," he says.
