Basement bath not on public sewer

[Tom4value]

I encountered this ages ago but forgot what the ruling was and can't find in 4000.1

Have a single family home connected to public sewer. However, there is a basement bath that is still connected to a cesspool (before public sewer was available). Does this have to also be connected since it is an accessory bath and not the main one?

The underwritter can also decide. It was always based on the cost to attach being affordable. That's all i remember ever seeing.

EEeewwww

The strangest bathroom thing I encountered here was someone installed a urinal to the laundry drain...

Right... Underwriter's decision. The appraiser's job is to report it and determine the impact on value.
