I’m planning to buy a 2 family house in Queens.
House is two floors plus basement, 19×63 building size , semi attached and currently is classified as 2 family.
It is rental house and second floor is converted to 2 separate apartments, plus basement is split in two extra rental units, each with bathroom and shower and kind of kitchen. First floor is separate apartment, nothing wrong.
What are the chances of legalizing all this and converting to 4 family or 3 family plus office in the basement and what would it cost. I’d like to get an estimate of how much of a trouble it can be before I buy property.
