One of the conditions in that Decision was that the maximum number of bedrooms was to be seven, with a maximum occupancy of 14. Code compliance issues were raised by the Building Commissioner and the Applicant sought and received a grant of a modification in the Decision in BOA File No. 087-06 to construct a new separate residential structure that would abide by all of the previously required conditions. Unbeknownst to the Applicant’s representatives at the time, there were eight bedrooms shown on the HDC approved plans that were referenced in the most recent Decision rather than seven.
