        "text": "Yes, you can convert an attached garage into an ADU, and this is a common approach. The primary consideration for attached garage conversions is ensuring fire separation between the main house and the new ADU, as mandated by building codes. You also need to consider how the new ADU's entrance and utilities will integrate with the existing structure without compromising privacy or functionality for either unit. Hometelligent Inc. can assess your specific attached garage to determine the most efficient conversion strategy.",
