No current CO, because building built prior to 1938. Place used to be an ice-cream store prior to 1938. Now changed to a food establishment with take out (by the pound salad bar + cooked stuff). Is this a chnage in use for DOB that would require a new CO?

Need more info?? Codes you are under, sq. footage. Would assume if cooking this would require a hood. may be a change in occupancy.
NYC Code, yes, cooking requires a hood. SF is about 1000 for entire space. Thanks!

It does not matter what it was in 1938. What was the use in 2020? I doubt the building has been vacant since 1938.
It hasn't, but need to prove that it was used as a commercial space then and for what. There has been no CO ever since, although a bunch of businesses in between,

No CO required for buildings constructed prior to 1938. So if one was ever requested after that date then the city would be the official record holder. I would ask them for a CO and if they cannot provide one then that satisfices the 1938 ordinance as I read it online.

Ice cream store or food take out, B or M gets muddy and does not matter a bunch IMO...Call it a B and move on...
