Converting Laundry Room to Bathroom

Find out if the coop bars "wet over dry" conversions; whether the powder room downstairs is grandfathered; and for that matter whether your laundry room used to be a bathroom (is this in a maid's room?), in which case you'd be restoring its use. Bylaws are a good place to start.

Thanks for the great advice. I think the laundry room was added by the owner. It is located in a large walk-in closet in one of the bedrooms. Do you have any recommendations on an architect or contractor who would be willing to do a walk thru?

not sure if this could lead to a "false negative". Not really a "wet over dry" situation, is it?

I'll give better than 50% odds this laundry room was once some sort of bath.

me so horny... soready....

Howz about converting it into a "champagne" room?

I believe that the best person to ask is the Architect/Engineer that reviews plans for the building. You will most likely have to pay a $250 fee for this advice and it will not be definitive because the final decision is still made by the board. Do not waist time with a contractor or your own Architect, they will not know. Also, this type of renovation will require filing plans with the Department of Buildings and Architectural plans. This is at least 5to10K overhead to your renovation budget. This bathroom will have to be handicap adaptable because of the DOB rules and this means it probably needs to be bigger then you think with a door at least 34 inches wide. You will also need to make sure the contractor you work with has a licensed plumber because you will be required to have a plumbing permit as well.
