Living Room Legal Requirements in Jersey City

[Jeongseok Suh]

Hi all,

I have put an offer in on a condo in Jersey City, which I am planning on adding a bedroom to and move in. The way the condo is set up, I would need to allocate the one window in the living room to the new bedroom, meaning the living room will no longer have a window.

I know bedrooms require certain legal restrictions to be met (2 egress, certain size, etc). Are there similar restrictions for a living room in Jersey City? Specifically in regards to not having a window in the living room.

Alternatively, would somebody be able to point me to good resources to look into regarding zoning rules / legal codes for specific areas? Googling has proven to be unhelpful so far.

Thank you!
