Convert Attic to legal apartment

Omar Dolmus

Hello all, Im a new investor in the Hudson Valley.

I purchased a duplex with a finished attic that has a bedroom, bathroom and roughed in plumbing for a kitchen. 

Pre closing the City building inspector declared it unhabitable space. My question is, is anyone familiar with how I can make it a legal apartment to where I can request a CO change from a 2->3 family. This would significantly add to the value of the property and would Increase my rental income a ton.

Another question is, would this be worth it? I know that It would most likely take a lot of time and money so is it worth the effort?
