We bought property (in NY) zoned for a light industrial buffer and informed our attorney & real estate agent we planned to convert the office space into living quarters. The upstairs section of the building had previously been apartments of some sort. All of the buildings around us are residential.
After a couple of months we moved into the building, had taxes and utilities changed for residential useage. After living here a year, the Village notified us that we couldn't live here.
We went to the Zoning Board for a use variance, it was denied. We are preparing our papers now for an Article 78.
Because the County recognized the building as residential I'm asking, isn't there a law that states where one part of the government recognizes something as so, it is so? If so, I need the reference for this.
Thank you.
