What happens if I combined two apartments and want to sell?

If your combination was done without proper board and DOB approval, you may need to legally reverse it before selling - which can cost tens of thousands of dollars and delay your sale by months. Even properly approved combinations can complicate sales because the buyer's lender and managing agent must confirm the legal status. Get a certificate of occupancy review and board documentation before listing.
