Convert commercial into residential in Pawtucket?
Looking at a building in Pawtucket that is currently commercial first floor with 2 one bedroom units on the second floor. The commercial space is vacant, and I don't have a ton of faith in small businesses as long as this COVID thing drags on. COVID took out the previous commercial tenant (also happens to be the owner). My question is what is the likelihood that I can convert the first floor into 2 units? Any opinions on whether or not the city would approve it? Also any general idea on rehab costs to add 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms (all lower end finishes for a class C type of property)?
