Well, if the garage is built, already, then you just need to put a gangway to it...
You can build a box enclosure from the door way, (man door, they call it), to the side of your house and if you dont have a door, install one where it will meet the house in a conspicious spot, of course, (a hallway, or off to a major room like kitchen, mudroom or dining room). Do not have it ending in some ones bedroom, or livingroom, or go through the laundry room, (if you have to bring groceries, you dont want to have to bump against a lot of different things).
Now, DO get a carbon monoxide detector! Because if some one is working in the Garage, you DONT want to die, if they leave the car on!
Make SURE your insurance is contacted, because it will cost you "more" for coverage, and it may negate the coverage you have now, if you dont tell them, and something happens where it burns the house and garage down.
Have extra fire extinguishers in the garage and outside the gangway that is going to lead to the garage...
Other than that, some 2X4s, and concrete for a pad, leading from garage to house, and insulation to keep it warm, or at least fromt the wind... and you will have it..
Also, check with local building codes from your Municipal or City or Country Building Inspector and see if you are "allowed" to do this! And if you live in a "housing project", (Condominiums), with a local Housing Authority, then you may not be able to do this due to regulations, governiing the placements of certain conditions that must be adhered to...
I wish you well..

What is the maximum occupancy declared by the Tompkins County (Ithaca NY) housing standard?
Kevin
I live in an old house ( built late 1800's) with 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 kitchen. I would like to know what the maximum occupancy is for this house. I am renting a room like most of the other tenants. The house is in Dryden NY which is part of Tompkins county (Ithaca NY). We have been having some minor issues with the landlord and I would like to know if this many of us are even legally permitted to live in a single house. I would also really like to have some links to any information regarding the fire safety regulations. There are no smoke detectors in any of our bedrooms, and maybe not on the second floor at all, a single fire extinguisher which is still in its box under the sink, and I don't think any carbon monoxide detectors. We have a big cast iron coal stove in the kitchen that heats the house. There is also a water treatment center in the basement that takes the sulfur and what not out of our well water but it is not in working condition. Any answers and links to places where I can find answer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. =D

" There are no smoke detectors in any of our bedrooms"
Smoke detectors do not go IN the room, they go outside the room in the hallway.
" maybe not on the second floor at all"
You need to look. Smoke detectors pretty much all look alike with only minor variations (an emergency light if the power goes out, size).
", and I don't think any carbon monoxide detectors. We have a big cast iron coal stove in the kitchen"
This IS a problem. Contact your local Fire Department or Board of Health.
"a single fire extinguisher which is still in its box under the sink"
Fire extinguishers are not usually required and not anywhere other than the itchen (grease fires). They don't want you trying to battle the fire, they want you to get out and call the fire department.
"There is also a water treatment center in the basement that takes the sulfur and what not out of our well water but it is not in working condition. "
Water quality is not controlled beyond certain thiings. Just because it stinks does not make it non-potable.
