STATEMENT OF RESIDENTIAL USE
In regard to R-1 Zoning, Section 25. 28.050 of the Municipal
Code states that: "Only one building designed or used as a residence
for one family shall be erected, located or maintained on one lot.
In Burlingame there are some garages or other structures which
have been converted into additional living units. Many of these are
illegal. When discovered by City officials, the property owner must
abate the illegal use and may be forced to restore the structure to its
original condition at his own expense.
There are some properties which have an additional living
unit which is nonconforming since it was established before the zoning
laws. This can be legally rented out if use has been continuous. However,
if more than 50 per cent of its assessed value is destroyed, it may not
be rebuilt or used as rental property in the future.
The City of Burlingame Building Department has records of
the building permits issued on all properties. You may review those
records at any time. However, the only way to determine whether a rental
unit is legally nonconforming or illegal is to have an inspection of the
premises by City officials. A $10.00 charge will be made for such
inspections. Such an inspection is voluntary and not required as a
condition of purchasing any property.
