Hunting for a new apartment? Watch out for illegal apartments, that may be dangerous for you and your family. DOB has found that illegally created apartments regularly have unpermitted gas and electrical systems, in addition to inadequate escape routes in the event of an emergency. This can pose a serious life safety threat to tenants, neighbors and first responders.
Here are some red flags to help you recognize potential illegally converted apartments:
🚩 Advertisements that use the word “cellar” or “attic” for apartments
🚩 The apartment only has one way in and out.
🚩 Bedrooms in the apartment that don’t have windows for adequate light and air
🚩 The apartment has rooms that get electricity though extension cords
🚩 The Landlords asks you to obtain a separate P.O. Box., and not receive mail at the apartment
🚩 The landlord lists the apartment as “utilities included” and won’t give you a written lease
