I was cited for an illegal occupancy in my downstairs apt.( house is 2 family); 1st 2 floors are legal.
Since then I had the tenant leave and gutted out half the kitchen. Now the Building dept. wants the space brought to code which can be very expensive. The apt was built in early 1960s and should not be subject to energy codes as I was told; is this true? What other options are there?
Can the house be sold with a violation on it ?
