On Oct. 19 the council gave final passage to a bill converting 1118 N Carey Street into three units and sent it to the mayor. A bill converting 812 N Carey Street into two units was signed into law on Aug. 6. Eight more such bills, covering nine rowhouses, were introduced between Sept. 14 and Oct. 19 and are in committee.
