Seeking Legal Expertise on New ADU Law in Massachusetts

[Joe DeFarias]

Good afternoon,

I hope this message finds you well! My name is Joe, and I'm a local architectural designer currently working on an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) project in Massachusetts. With the new 760 CMR 71.00 Protect Use Accessory Dwelling Unit law that took effect this past February, I'm seeking legal guidance to ensure that my project is fully compliant.

I've encountered some potential confusion with how the local building commission is interpreting the new regulations, and I'm hoping to connect with a real estate attorney who is up-to-date on the law. Ideally, I'd love to collaborate with someone who shares an interest in ADU projects and can offer valuable insight into this new legislation.

If you are, or know of, an attorney specializing in this area, I’d greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

Warm regards,

Joe
