If any Federal money is involved, and there always is, there will be a slew of rules about who will be allowed to live in the project.
But first, they will have to add the needed plumbing, electrical, vent...
Buildings are seldom designed for future ‘possible’ use.
Office buildings have ~2 toilets for every thirty employees, apartments 2 toilets for every three bedrooms.
Unless they are packing 15 to a bedroom they need many more toilets and everything else...
But the plumbing pipes are concealed above the ceiling and usually do not have much space for additional services.
Possible but very expensive.
The building is owned by the mayor’s brother-in-law?
They will be grant money for all the union labor...
