Mother/Daughter

A mother/daughter essentially is a home with two kitchens and at least two bathrooms that is laid out in such a way that the two areas are separate. Planning for assignments is always a big part so that we’ll know how long we should devote to the assignment and steadily work at it. We make sure our projects are well thought out to so that the best can be produced out of it.

For a Mother and Daughter, you are allowed to have a second kitchen in your one family home, providing you have a parent and child living there. You also can’t have any separation between the two units. If you are purchasing a home and the realtor says it’s a two family, the realtor might assume it’s a legal two because it has a second kitchen. You need to hire an Town of Hempstead Draftsman to see if the home is CO’d for a legal two family or a mother and daughter. You would be required to obtain a new permit for a mother/daughter home.

Even though there may have been a permit mother/daughter status, this is temporary and lies with the current homeowner. The home most likely always was a single family home with a “permit” for the mother/daughter status and has a certificate of occupancy for such single-family status. In New York State, a home must be sold with the stove. Therefore, if the home in which you are interested is classified as a single family home, there must be a stove in the kitchen and if the home is classified as a two family home, there must be a stove in each kitchen.
