One trick is to search for all building types but limit the search by square footage. Floors that are completely below grade are not included in the square footage of the building and cannot be used for sleeping.
The confusion has come with the basement level which is partly below grade. But we use townhouses differently now and the basement is considered living space, so it is now included. Problem is, the DOB never went back and recalculated the square footages of buildings calculated the old way.
That throws off the calculations of cost per square foot. The important thing is to be consistent and compare apples to apples.
How the square footage is calculated can make a big difference. So you have to be consistent one way or the other. If you see a C of O in the past 10 years or so, then you can trust the official square footage of the building and know that it includes the basement. One other thing to remember is that, unlike apartments, townhouse square footage includes the exterior walls.
A considerable amount of the square footage can be walls. We share one wall with the townhouse next to us, so brick to brick our square footage is If we did 4 inch studs on all exterior walls that would reduce things further to Most of the townhouses in Harlem have year old plumbing and nearly as old electrical systems.
Very few of them are properly insulated. Most have rotten floor joists under the bathrooms. That means they all need major work.
