Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Real Estate/Basement Apt.
My grandparents will be moving into my parents new home but they are not going to sell their current home. Their current home is a 5 family. Is it illegal to make the basement an apartment for myself since no rent is being collected?

If the basement apartment can be legalized and the Certificate fo Occupancy (C of O) upraded you can occupy the apartment.
You can check the C of O and see if the basement was ever approved as an apartment. For deeper inquiry you can contact our office.

Illegal is illegal, especially in a multiple dwelling. Rent is not the issue.
Good Luck
