Note: Multifamily units refer to all units in residential buildings with units built one of top of another and those built side by side that do not share a ground-to-roof wall and/or common facilities like an attic, basement, heating plant or plumbing. These units do not include semi-detached (i.e. with a ground-to-roof wall), row houses or townhouses.
