Identify CONH and SRO Issues Before Filing or Acquisition

Certain residential buildings may be subject to Certificate of No Harassment requirements before specified alterations, conversions, demolitions, or changes in use can proceed.

Buildings with SRO, rooming-house, Class B, hotel, or historic multiple-dwelling records may present issues that are not obvious from the current appearance or use of the property.

Liveable.nyc reviews available agency and historical records to identify apparent CONH, SRO, and occupancy-classification risks.

What Is a CONH and SRO Risk Review?

This service evaluates whether the building’s records indicate conditions that may trigger or support further review of:

  • Certificate of No Harassment requirements
  • SRO status
  • Class B multiple-dwelling use
  • Rooming-house history
  • Hotel or transient occupancy
  • Historic occupancy records
  • I-cards
  • HPD classification
  • DOB certificates of occupancy

  • Review of HPD building records
  • Review of available DOB certificates of occupancy
  • Review of historic I-cards or occupancy records
  • Review of apparent SRO or rooming-house indicators
  • Review of Class A and Class B classifications
  • Review of available prior filings and permits

Why Is This Service Important?

A CONH or SRO issue can materially affect a renovation, conversion, TCO, certificate of occupancy, financing, or property acquisition.

Discovering the issue after design work or construction begins can result in substantial delay, redesign, legal expense, and lost project value. Apparently buildings also have past lives, and the agencies remember them better than many owners do.

Our Service Is Designed For:

  • Property owners
  • Developers
  • Buyers
  • Real estate attorneys
  • Architects
  • Lenders
  • Owners planning residential conversion
  • Owners seeking a certificate of occupancy
  • Owners of former hotels or rooming houses
  • SRO property owners
  • Class B building owners
  • Acquisition and due-diligence teams

Why Choose Liveable.nyc?

Liveable.nyc understands that CONH risk often depends on the interaction between historical use, current occupancy, HPD records, DOB records, and proposed work.

We organize those records into a clear preliminary assessment so ownership, design professionals, and counsel can address the issue before making major filing or investment decisions.
