What is a second unit/legal basement

A second unit is a self-contained residential unit located within a house. The unit may be in any part of the house, including the basement.

A second unit is not legal unless it has been registered with the City and any work has been approved and inspected by the City. These policies are intended to make units safe, legal and livable.
