Hi...I have asked this before but did not get a clear response. I just looked at the Multiple Dwelling resource that Habitat has put together. Alas, I cannot find how to determine the legal number of people allowed to live in a condo unit. I know this goes in part by square footage and number of bedrooms, as legally describe, but I cannot find the equation, if you will. Can someone point me in the right direction? This is an issue for our condo.

call your county government...and the condo/coop docs ( they may or may not mention it
Your county government would have the info, if they have established one.
I believe NYC requires 80 sq feet per occupant, not counting hallways, kitchens or baths.
A "rule of thumb" is roughly for an 80 square foot bedroom, 2 people, smaller, one person. Again,this is just a rule of thumb and a general guideline.
