Converting one- or two-family NYC dwelling to multi-family building
We have been getting more requests lately for information pertaining to the conversion of single or two-family dwelling units to multi-family dwelling. Owners of single and two-family homes in NYC are frequently contemplating converting them to three or more dwelling units. Any building that has more than three apartments is considered a multi-family building. The conversion is regulated by the NYC Building Code. There are several items we evaluate. These include the following:
- Zoning
- Fire Alarms
- Sprinklers
- Elevator Installation
- ADA (Handicapped) Accessibility
- Construction classification
- Multiple Egress
- Filing an application
