Here is a hypothetical situation, which may become relevant to me in the near future.

Let’s say I have own an apartment in a multi-unit building, of which the FAR has been maximized. I happen to have a double height space in my unit and would like to create a floor and make more usable square footage above.

This is not a permittable renovation, but what are the potential implications of doing such a job?

Is it a serious thing, or do people do it all the time?
