R2 Zone options - ADU versus Boarding house
So my client bought a three story home in an R2 zone in NE DC, planning to convert the first floor into a rental unit. Promptly discovered that R2 is a single detached house zone and tried to back out of the deal. Researched uncovered that Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADUs) are allowed in R2.. yet seems to require a $4000 statement of occupancy. My closing attorney brought up the option of using it as a "boarding house." does that require a statement of occupancy? Don't see much via google. any advice on this would be appreciated!
