this chapter.
(7) An accessory apartment may not be occupied by more than three people.
(8) Three off-street parking spaces must be available for use by the owner-occupant(s) and
tenants.
(9) The design and room sizes of the apartment must conform to all applicable standards in
the health, building, and other codes.
(10) Zoning permits issued under this section shall specify that the owner must occupy one
of the dwelling units. The zoning permit and the notarized letters required in Subsection
B(11)and (12) below must be recorded in the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds or
Land Court, as appropriate, in the chain of title to the property, with documentation of
the recording provided to the Building Commissioner, prior to the occupancy of the

(11) When a structure which has received a permit for an accessory apartment is sold, the
new owner(s), if they wish to continue to exercise the permit, must, within 30 days of

of a structure or change in use, increase in intensity of use or extension or displacement of
use of any structure or lot in violation of a permit or certificate issued under the provisions of
this chapter, or in violation of any provision of this chapter, and such order shall direct the
discontinuance of the unlawful action, use or condition and the abatement of the violation
within a time to be specified by the Building Commissioner. Any owner, who having been
served with a notice, and who ceases any work or other activity, or who fails to complete the
structure, shall not leave any structure or lot in such conditions as to be a hazard or menace
to the public safety, health, morals or general welfare.
§ 350-10.10.Accessory apartments.
An accessory apartment, or in-law apartment, is a self-contained housing unit incorporated within
a single-family dwelling (not within accessory structures, except with a special permit)that is a
subordinate part of the single-family dwelling and complies with the criteria below.
A. The intent of permitting accessory apartments is to:
(1) Provide older homeowners with a means of obtaining rental income, companionship,
security and services, and thereby to enable them to stay more comfortably in homes
and neighborhoods they might otherwise be forced to leave;
(2) Add moderately priced rental units to the housing stock to meet the needs of smaller
households and make housing units available to moderate-income households who
might otherwise have difficulty finding housing;
(3) Develop housing units in single-family neighborhoods that are appropriate for
households at a variety of stages in their life cycle;
(4) Protect stability, property values, and the single-family residential character of a
neighborhood by ensuring that accessory apartments are installed only in owner-
occupied houses;
(5) To provide housing units for persons with disabilities.
B. The Building Commissioner may issue a zoning permit authorizing the installation and use of
an accessory apartment within an existing or new owner-occupied, single-family dwelling and
the Zoning Board of Appeals may issue a special permit authorizing the installation and use of
an accessory apartment in a detached structure on a single-family home lot only when the
following conditions are met:
(1) The apartment will be a complete, separate housekeeping unit containing both kitchen
and bath.
(2) Only one accessory apartment may be created within a single-family house or house
lot.
(3) The owner(s)of the residence in which the accessory unit is created must continue to
occupy at least one of the dwelling units as their primary residence.The zoning permit
or special permit for the accessory apartment automatically lapses if the owner no
longer occupies one of the dwelling units.
(4) Any new outside entrance to serve an accessory apartment shall be located on the side
or in the rear of the building.
(5) The gross floor area of an accessory apartment(including any additions)shall not be
greater than 900 square feet.
(6) Once an accessory apartment has been added to a single-family residence or lot, the
accessory apartment shall never be enlarged beyond the 900 square feet allowed by
Excerpts from the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Northampton
February 12, 2007
§ 350-4.4. Zoning permit required.
A. It shall be unlawful for any owner or person to erect, construct, reconstruct, or alter a structure
or change the use or lot coverage, increase the intensity of use, or extend or displace the use
of any building or other structure or lot without applying for and receiving from the Building
Commissioner a zoning permit therefor. For purposes of administration, such permit and
application procedure involving a structure may be made at the same time and combined with
the permit required under the Building Code.Editor's Note:See Ch. 145,Building Regulations.Zoning
permits shall be valid for six months after their issuance, but shall not provide any vesting in
the event of zoning or other regulatory changes.
B. Notwithstanding this section, a zoning permit shall not be required for a home office (as
defined in the zoning)that does not involve construction, nor for the renewal of a home
occupation permit.
C. Any application for a zoning permit shall be submitted, accompanied by such information as
may be necessary to provide for the execution and enforcement of this chapter. A record of all
application, plans, and permits shall be kept on file by the Building Commissioner. The
Building Commissioner shall take action in writing on an application for a permit, either
granting the permit or disapproving the application, within 30 days of receipt of the application.
The issuance of a zoning permit does not relieve an applicant or owner of the responsibility to
obtain all required zoning and nonzoning permits.
§350-4.5. Certificate of use and occupancy required.
It shall be unlawful to use or occupy any structure or lot thereafter erected or altered unless the
Building Commissioner has issued a certificate of use and occupancy and has specified thereon
the use to which the structure or lot may be put. Applications for certificates of use and
occupancy shall be filed coincident with the application for permits and shall be issued or refused
in writing for cause within 10 days after the Building Commissioner has been notified in writing
that the erection or alteration of such buildings has been completed. A record of all certificates
shall be kept on file in the office of the Building Commissioner. Buildings accessory to dwellings
when completed at the same time shall not require a separate certificate of occupancy. Pending
the issuance of a regular certificate, a temporary certificate may be issued for a period not
exceeding six months, during the completion of alterations or during partial occupancy of a
building, pending its completion. No temporary certificate shall be issued prior to its completion if
the building fails to meet the requirements of applicable building ordinances and state laws or this
chapter to such a degree as to render it unsafe for the occupancy proposed. In situations where,
in the opinion of the Building Commissioner, a single structure or group of related structures may
not be issued a certificate of occupancy because not all of the spaces within the structure(s) are
yet completed, he may issue a single certificate of occupancy which specifies certain areas as not
being included. Such areas will be required to have a separate certificate of occupancy prior to
their use and occupancy.
§350-4.8. Notice of violation and order.
A. The Building Commissioner shall serve a notice of violation and order to any owner or person
responsible for the erection, construction, reconstruction, completion, conversion, or alteration

Dear Maureen and Marc,
The zoning permit application (MP-2003-0030)we approved and the building permit (BP-2003-
0156) we issued in August 2002 were to allow the construction and use of a home office in the existing
garage building at 411 Westhampton Road. Constructing and occupying that space as a dwelling unit
violates Zoning Ordinance of the City of Northampton, sections 350-4.4, Zoning Permit Required, 350-
4.5, Certificate of Use and Occupancy Required, and 350-10.10 Accessory Apartments.
You must discontinue the unlawful use of this structure and obtain the necessary permits and
inspections within five working days. If you fail to do so, we will institute the appropriate action or
proceeding at law to prevent any further unlawful use and to correct such violations.
This letter shall serve as a notice of violation under Section 350-4.8 of the Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Northampton.
Please call if you have any questions. Our telephone number is 587-1240 and our office hours are
Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, excepting that we close at 12:00 noon on Wednesdays.
