Hi! So... I'm rest stabilized, in an old tenement, built approx 1885. The building has 16 residential units, 4 on each floor, floors 2-5, and a commercial tenant on 1st floor.
We (tenants) have just filed an HP, and inspectors have begun inspecting our apartments.
My bathroom has never had any ventilation whatsoever, and no window. It seems the other tenants do have some kind of ventilation, mostly connected to an old air shaft. I have heard this is a violation, but the inspector was unsure, questioning whether or not it was a violation if it had always been that way, or some sort of grandfathering, etc?
I can't seem to find any concrete answer searching online.
Thanks!
