Adding bedrooms to a triplex. Permits? And resale headaches?
I have 2 almost identical triplex apartment buildings.
Both have 2 very large framed / screened in from porches. Estimate 40’ x 14’
It would be very easy to turn half of each one of them into a 3rd bedroom and still maintain an appropriate sized screened in porch on the other half.
I have a guy that is very capable of doing the work. This would increase the rent of said units by approximately $200-$250 each
My question is
1) do I need permits for interior work like that? (Most likely)
2) how likely are they to approve it? WhT would be my obstacles?
3) if I did the work without permits will this come back to bite me when I try and resell the properties?
