1) Ask to see the regulation that states you must have a closet.
2) If it exists, ask to see the regulation which defines the minimum requirements of a closet and the definition of a closet.
3) If neither of those exist, file an appeal. THAT they should have regulations for. If not, they are in BIG trouble.

Why would the city say you need a closet?

This makes no sense......so they are telling you that you HAVE to have a closet in the room??? You apparently own the house then? I've never heard of such an absurd thing in my life.....why the frig do they care if there's a closet in that room???? I've seen people go from an existing wall and build a closet from the wall out into the room.....but that kinda "throws the room off"......this is just absurd.....and they wonder why people go grab a gun and go on rampages????

What does it matter to the city if you have a closet or not? Sorry makes no sense to me.

if you have children it may be a requirement in custody or case of social service intervention. Atlantic co NJ has some weird laws as to what makes a suitable living condition.

Wow...that is weird, especially since a child could suffocate themselves in a closet

Toss the stuff in a corner. Cover it with a tarp. You've got a closet.

Only a bedroom needs a closet. If you have a bedroom with a closet, designate the room without one as a den, or a study.

Just call it a Den, Rumpus room, or a Florida room. It's what you define it as. No one has the authority to tell you otherwise. It's just a matter of semantics. If you choose to put your bed in the kitchen (which is your right to choose) does it make it a bedroom?

Typically, to be defined as a "bedroom" a room needs two points of egress and a closet. The egress points are in case of fire, and the closet permits storage of clothing, which is typically done in a bedroom. A closet is merely a separate space with a door. You can drywall in a section 2' x 2' and put a door on it pretty easily. I hope this helps. Feel free to visit http://www.denverrealestateoffice.com for more advice.
