@Dan Robinson Thanks so much for your reply, I already have  one form of egress (outside door) but I may need another one.  Your right I will need a separate electrical system being that the current one is down there already (needs to be moved). I hope I don't have to underpin and, I don't know about the sprinkler system (never show one in a basement conversion) but I'll find out.

Thanks again

@Sean Babischkin Have you worked in DC before with DCRA? being that your in New England and all.

I'm looking to convert my Brookland DC row house basement to a legal rental unit , I was wondering if anyone has done this, what was the cost?

My ceiling height is 6'2 in the front and 7'5 in the back of the house, so I know I'll need to do a dig-out.   Any input, suggestions or recommendations (Architect, Contractor, etc.) that the BP forum may have for me moving forward with my basement conversion project would be great for me and anyone else with the same question here on the forum. 

Please feel free to inbox me with contacts 

Thanks

Ricardo

@Vasa G. I'm trying to do the same thing to my row house in Brookland DC, I was wondering how was your project going and what was the cost, I'll love to meetup with you one day to get any input, suggestions or recommendations you may have for me moving forward with my basement conversion project. 

Please feel free to email or inbox me

Thanks
