An estimated 114,000 people live in basement apartments in New York City, many of whom risk being relocated if the Department of Building finds their living situation to be illegal. According to city records, those cases are on the rise. The DOB issued 5,151 violations to landlords for illegal apartment conversions last year, mostly in Brooklyn and Queens, the City news site reported. That’s a 10 percent increase from the 4,665 violations issued in 2018.
