NYC Small Single Family Convert to Two Family

Hi,

Is it possible to buy a ~1200 to ~1300 small Single Family house in NYC and convert to Legal 2 Family? Zoning permits it and I have significantly unused FAR ( I can have 1900 SQ).

I have two options, get permit and build another 600 sqft and convert to standard 2 family, but I was also thinking about converting it to a Legal Studio on flr 2. and legal duplex in flr1. and basement.

Has anyone done this and does anyone know if this is possible? I understand that the studio will be very small, about 500-700 SQFT.
