garage conversion

More details to this question:
Hello. Can I convert a two car separate garage I have for living space? I will not be renting it. Just for an immediate family member. Do I need to legally convert or can I just convert it without fearing violations for New York City? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

A garage is not for living space. It's use is governed by the certificate of occupancy issued when it was built. You would have to hire an architect to determine if it could be legally converted to living space.
