[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, I don’t need to get a certificate of occupancy if the rental unit is in my home?[/quote] OP here. If it is in your house and your house is zoned single family dwellings you CANNOT get a CofO. You have an accessory apartment in a single family dwelling. Check the website and check the codes I cited. That is what is applicable in a single family dwelling. The CofO is for multi family dwellings which mine was not. Yes it is confusing. And I don’t think have the people in DCRA know what to tell you. I worked with a woman Kathleen Beeton who was deputy zoning administrator. She and one other fellow walked me through step by step. There is a fellow with the last name Nero too who knows all the steps. The important thing to say is you have an ACCESSORY apartment. You have the right to rent out your accessory apartment if you meet the conditions I mentioned.[/quote]
