The Living Room in the Lower Level Unit used to be the garage for this home. That is why there is Electric Baseboard eat for this room only and a large patio area out front. The patio area used to be the driveway.
There are 2 100 Amp Electrical Services for this home. The boxes are located behind a cabinet in the Lower Level Living Room. Each Unit has their own meter.
The Main Source of Heat for the Home is a Boiler/Hot Water Heating System that runs on Natural Gas. There is one gas bill for the entire home. The bill was split 50/50 if there was just one adult renting the Upper Level. The bill was split 75/25 if there were 2 or more adults renting the Upper Level.
The Water, Sewer & Garbage were all on one bill. This bill was split 75/25 for Water & Sewer and 50/50 for the Garbage.
In regards to the Rental License for this property, the license is in good standing and is good through 2023, but the application would need to be updated with Code Enforcement in Brookings. It is currently licensed as a 2 Family Rental. If the New Owner would decide to use the entire home for their own personal use instead of renting it out, then they would lose the 2 Family Rental Status.
The chance of getting the Rental License/2 Family Status back in the future would depend. If you have additional questions regarding the Rental Status/Licensing process, please contact Sarah Keizer, the Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Brookings at 605-692-6629.
Additional Fun Facts from Sarah Keizer: the file on this home shows that it has been licensed as a rental since 1985. It was licensed as a 2 Family Rental in 1994.
