Conversion from Two-Family to Three-Family Doesn't Require New C of O

DOB issued a violation notice to landlord for a C of O violation because landlord had converted the building from a two-family to a three-family residence. The ALJ ruled for landlord, and DOB appealed. ECB ruled against DOB. Since both two-family and three-family residences are within the same use group, the law requires no new C of O in these circumstances.
