Zoning Problem

  if I bought a 3-family house in 1988
does anybody have the right to tell me in 2006
it can any be used as a 2-family house
 
  Somebody may have the right.  I don't know what your zoning classification is, when it may have been changed, whether you might be grandfathered in, when you had a certificate of occupancy inspection--lots of questions that can be answered by your own real estate lawyer.  That's the person to consult at this point.
