Is there any kind of a Grandfather clause with regards to separating utilities within a single family house where the owner has someone living upstairs another living down. Two kitchens, owner pays all utilities. The place was built in early 1900. I was just doing some service work there and a building inspector from the twp is siting art 210.25 and said everything must be separate even if tenants are not involved with paying utilities. It would cost $50K easy to seperate everything. In fact might be impossible with duct work etc. I find it really hard to believe if you have a tenant there living space must be seperate. Here in Philly I’d say maybe half are compliant to this article.
