Reply to comment by nycfoto in Basement apartment under the sewer? by yoohoooos

Thanks for the explanation. Any idea why they wouldn't expand the building to fill the vault and add more square footage? Is it expensive?

The building is built up the property line or behind the property line. A vault extends outside the building line onto city property below the sidewalk.

So you got it the other way around. The building can't expand out above ground. It would be encroaching on public property (sidewalk/street).
