We are currently interviewing for a superintendents position in the Bronx. The supers apartment has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The super we are interested in has 4 kids. Would you allow a family of 6 live in a 2 bedroom apartment? Ages are 2 months, 2, 4 and 10.

Dear Pres, There is a law governing the number of people allowed to occupy an apartment -- and I dont mean to be flipent -- but would you approve this large and growing family -- who will be here for years -- as owners? Common sense should give you the answer.
VP
It's hard to go by NYC law, cause that law says you can have one person per 80 square feet, so technically the supers apartment could maybe have 10-12 people living here without a problem. Putting that aside, we do recogize it will be tight. .
too many people. they will drain resources such as electricity , water etc.
The corporation does not pay for the supers electric, we give him a small allowance only. As for the water, you just do not know how they are going to use it . Thanks for your opinion.
You will regret it and kick yourself for many years to come.
I believe NYC housing codes require 80 square feet per occupant. Nothing requires having a dining room or living room. Other than bath or kitchen, a room is a room.
Have the OWNERS who invested in this building,who live next door, down the hall and -- most important -- below and above this apartment approved the fact that the Board is going to pack in six people in (four growing children) -- into a two bedroom apartment -- who will make a lot of noise, crowd the elevator, play in the hall and add to the laundry room traffic etc etc etc? Not to mention the fact that many owners buy Coops in hopes of a more peaceful quality of life.
We have a studio apt across the hall and they make enough noise for two familys, we have a doctors office who see patients at night and sometimes during the day, we have another apartment far away from the supers apt who has a large bird that screams like its being abused... and no compliants. We have not decided to accept this super but do appreicate your feedback.

I thought that by law, the max per bedroom is 2 so you are short 1 bedroom.
