Can anyone point me to the city ordinances or codes that govern creating basement apartments in Columbus OH? Is there anyone here that has done it before?

  •  Biggest points of concern:

- Ceiling height

- Must have egress exit

- Windows must not exceed a certain height above floor

I have considered doing this to one of my buildings on OSU campus.
