Hello, I’m having a heck of a time finding code or forum posts that would answer my question. I have a cellar, with one egress, which I want to use as an office, workshop, have band practice, and maybe keep a fridge.
The boiler is behind closed doors down a long hallway, and no part of the cellar is more than thirty feet from the egress point. By the way, this is an eight unit building, in which I live and rent out the seven other apartments. What is the code regarding such a situation?
Thanks in advance!
Riteoneexpeditinginc, I only have an I card, so I don’t know about zoning or what not. It’s my personal office, I’m not renting it out or anything, though from your post I see that that might not matter. Thanks for your reply!
STARGAZER, it’s mostly composed electronically, and through headphones, fear not for my neighbors…

Band practice.
ugh, I feel sorry for the neighbors.
is it soundproof?
I certainly hope so………..
Morning, the only issue i see is the use of office, this is a use group 6 most likely ur cellar space does not have this particular use as of right. Does your building have an existing certificate of occupany if yes read ur permitted uses in the cellar level and then u can determine what u can use down there.
