No one answered this for several days, so let me give it a try.My dad owned a mixed use property in the outer boroughs of NY City for over fifty years.

Definitely recommend reaching out to the city first to confirm what permitting would be needed for added square footage.

My thought would be, if the city is okay with letting owners doing padsplit, why not just letting them rezone the property to multifamilies and build a multifamily apartment, which is a more legitimate solution. 2.

These are largely in the suburbs and some markets within the city.

.- Most cities do NOT care if an owner lives in basement, but will not allow a tenant to unless baement has legal egress window.3) Check local statutes if any limitations on how many unrelated roommates are allowed.4) Check with local building dept to see if rental inspections and corresponding requirements.5) Local statutes allow locks on bedroom doors?
