The basement level of our s/f home is partially above grade with front and rear access, front and rear windows, and an existing bath with toilet and shower.

We are in a two-family zone.

Does NYC code allow such a space to be converted into a legal rental?

What are some of the key issues in terms of ceiling height, separation of heating unit from living area, etc?

I welcome any feedback from the architects or contractors on this forum.
