  • Be authorized by law to practice at a residential location that also serves as their home;
  • Be a licensed New York State dentist or doctor engaged in an individual or group practice on the first or second floor of an apartment building;
  • Be engaged in an occupation in the residential portion of a building that has been used for the same occupational purpose since December 15, 1961.
