The house is a legal two family house but they have converted it into a triplex with an illegal basement apartment.  We love it so much we are willing to overlook the basement apartment (we plan on removing the kitchen) and just using it as an extra bedroom\/ rec room.  However, the C of O clearly says it should be 1 family on the first flor and 1 family on the second floor.  Would I have to convert that back?
