Garage converted to bedroom - legal?

Postby halobear » Wed Apr 24, 2002 10:12 pm

I just saw a house for sale. The R.E. agent said that it is a legal two family. But the garage was converted into a bedroom, so the basement is what some people call a "walk-in" one bedroom apt. The previous owner got a permit to add a kitchen (stove, sink, etc.) in the basement. There is also a full bathroom. My question is, Is the bedroom (which used to be a garage) legal? It has heating and windows and is at ground level. The agent told me that the garage was converted in the 1950's.
