Here is my situation.
I bought a limestone townhouse lately. It’s 3 family townhouse that I still believe. One day before closing, our attoney told me ” it’s not sure if your townhouse is 3fam, maybe 2 fam. it’s not black and white because of pre-war townhouse.” Then our attorney said he can’t give the further information and he told us not to investigate, not to call city or BOD and not to bring up the topic now and just wait until I recieve multi house registration (not sure, something like that). He said that it’ll be okay if I recieve it, but if I don’t recieve, it’s a problem. It’s 3 story and 3 apartments.
Property shark says it’s 3 fam and all houses in same block are 3 fam. Our tax is for 3 fam. Electric meters are 3 and gas meters are 2. There are no official mailbox and just 2 non locked boxes used as mailbox. It’s clearly stated that 3 fam in the bank appraisal. All documents during the closing were not stated as 3 fam, but multi family or 2-3 fam category. Anyhow I love my townhouse so much no matter what, but I need to know! I hope this won’t cause me any problem. Anybody who have or had same experience? Please give more info and share your similar experience with me. Tnank you….
