Right you are, Chauncey. Three bedroom apartments ($3L) would all of a sudden become one bedroom apartments ($1L) with a storage room and a den.
“Three bedroom apartments ($3L) would all of a sudden become one bedroom apartments ($1L) with a storage room and a den.”
Nice try, but I was one step ahead of you:
Apartment sizes and square footages may be calculated based on legal requirements and property tax appraisal and building permit and other official records.
It wouldn’t matter if one room was actually stuffed with boxes and another room only had a sofa, a desk and a chair in it.
If a 1936 blueprint had it as a three-bedroom apartment, it could be taxed as one.
