I hope the building department checked this home. The New Rochelle property portal lists this as a single family home, but according to media reports this home was divided up into apartments. Even if it was a "boarding house' the owners still have to hold a valid rooming house permit that requires annual renewal and the payment of a fee. I encourage people in New Rochelle to call the New Rochelle Building Department and report situations where homes have illegal occupancy. This type of over occupancy is not just a safety hazard, but it also places an unfair burden on other property owners who must pay more in taxes to support the services provided to the occupants of these homes by the City and school district.
