Understanding opportunities for expanding doors

Aside from calling the city and HOA, are there any online resources to look into, when considering if expanding the doors on a potential unit is allowed in that area?

ie turning a duplex into a triplex, etc. I know the city would be the ones to confirm if you can get more meters already.

Hey @Duane Ward - I'm not too certain about Long Island, but for neighborhoods in NYC including Rockaway you can learn a lot through the Zoning & Land Use Application website (google Nyc Zola). 

I know from the deals I've worked in Long Island the town's building department is the best first place to begin.


Good luck!
