So you can get away with it until you are reported but it is a risk and the city may shut you down.I suspect if you are buying in a lower end area of the city you can probably get away with it for a long time as the neighbors probably don't care as much.If you try and operate an illegal suite in the 'fancy' parts of town like East Hill I suspect the neighbors will be calling the city very quick to complain.

In hind sight, I probably would have been better off just keeping my mouth shut.

It would take a black swan event to change the neighborhood course for there is a lot of money invested in restaurants, bars, and RE.

Welcome, there is a meet up tonight at 7pm at the olympic restaurant on military rd, in buffalo, there is a link somewhere

Even leave one with your tip at restaurants, you never know who will end up seeing it. 3.

An angry neighbor won't tire until they shut you down.

Do you care about transportation options, restaurants, diversity, neighborhood schools, etc? 

The area is quiet and low crime, and I think will become a little more popular over the next few years due to urban sprawl and some colleges, restaurants, etc being built a few miles down the freeway.

In that time there has been significant development in the neighborhood with new restaurants, condos, and a major expansion of a university's local campus.  

It will be my "go to" restaurant!
