I'm tired of posting the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif. I need something else.

Look out!

It's a trap!

Your taxes will go up!

If you go from a 2 family to 3 family, you will have to register as an MDR dwelling with HPD!

I think it would only matter if you choose to convert your basement.
This actually might not be such a bad idea. This will bring a lot of apartments to the lower end of the market rate rents.

They’re also bringing them up to code with fire safety and other tenant safety issues. With basement apartments legal the tenants will have greater protections. This needs to be done throughout Brooklyn and Wueens.

They are already living in basement apartments. This is not new.

I know that it’s not new, now that it will be legalized it will give more people incentive to do it.

Wow, how nice of New York to let people use their own homes in the manner they see fit.
What would we all do without the government protecting us from all the hazards of life.
