Estimated Cost to Convert a 2-Family into a 3-Family home in NYC
Hello Everyone,
I am looking at a property in Queens, NY that has the potential to be converted from a 2-Family Home into a 3-Family home by converting the basement into a legal dwelling. Basement has 2 entrances (Front and Back) and is half way above curb.
What would be the estimated cost in getting a new certificate of occupancy?

Hey @Isai Turcios the price will differ based on location and property. If you want an exact estimate the person you would want to contact is an Architect. Along with getting a new c/o there will be filing fees involved with the DOB and any possible permits the contractor may have to pull. Good luck with the conversion !
