Ceiling height in garden apartment up to building codes?

Categories: Building Code

Hi, I’ve read that cellars in NYC need to have ceilings 7’6″ to meet code. I’m looking at a 4-story 4-uni recently converted condo where the ceiling in the garden apartment in Brooklyn measured 7’4″ ceiling, at the one point i measured. The building was built in the 1880s but the conversion was just completed.

The engineer didn’t mention ceiling height but now I’m concerned it doesn’t meet code.

Anyone here know the code or resources? My search efforts only turn up 7’6″.

Thanks,
Wendy
