You are crazy. Problem number 1 is if the town catches you, they will make your life miserable. How are they going to catch
you, you might ask? Search through the posts and you will see neighbors turning neighbors in.
Problem number 2, I you happen to get a bad tenant in, you may have a difficult time getting him out. They can trash your house and then refuse to leave. If they really want to make your life miserable they will.
I read an article that in Hungtington they are allowing basement rentals now. I thought those were the most dangerous apartments. Looks like things are going the opposite direction

They are considering it. It’s not official, it really doesn’t matter. A house that’s going to rent out the basement is going to do it whether it’s legal or not. Huntington is using the angle that’s it’s already here so this makes it safer. They really don’t care and just want the permit $$.

It is under consideration.
A meeting at Town Hall is scheduled for the 13th of June, and I anticipate a lot of opposition. It's not a done deal by a long shot.
Of note is that our governor has her eyes on Huntington in particular to increase "affordable" housing, so the proposition may be in response to her "suggestion".
I'm waiting on the right lawsuit to come along to declare these rental ordinances as unconstitutional and an overreach of municipal authority. In essence, the building department is telling someone WHO can live in a home, not just HOW it is being used. Hempstead Town had an owner-occupied condition shot down on a legal two-family home as the judge declared that the zoning board overstepped its authority in restricting who could occupy the space.
There are means to ensure that the owner is paying proper taxes on the income, but that's not the building department's call. Their authority ends in determining how a property may be used (single family, multi family, etc) and verifying that the structure matches approved plans on file.
Don’t forget if the person doesn’t pay and you have to evict.
