Can you rent in Midst of CO change

Categories: C of O

I am currently renovating a 2 family (taxed as a 3) brownstone. My architect put in the reno as a change of CO from 2 to 3 family. I am still working on my unit; but two apartments are complete and I want to rent them out. My contractor is telling me that I may have a problem renting because we have not yet obtained the 3 family CO. Is this true?

There are only two kitchens (the ones in the rental apartments). My floors still have a way to go and I need the income to offset the mortgage. I am thinking that I can rent out under the current 2 family CO.

Am I looking for trouble or is my contractor mistaken?
