If an unfinished basement is to be used as a sleeping area it needs to be:

* dry * ventilated * warm * have both natural light and artificial light fittings that work * have a safe egress in case of fire etc. * be electrically safe (no incomplete cabling or exposed wires) * have no tripping or falling hazards * have no exposed hazardous materials (including some insulation) * it may also need to have smoke alarms etc.

What is an unfinished basement?

Unfinished basements are basements who are not made suitable to be counted as additional living space. They are usually uninsulated, with bare concrete or stone walls, and bare slab or dirt floor.

When do you consider a basement unfinished?

To simplify this as much as possible, an unfinished basement is a basement that is lacking the elements that would typically be seen in a finished room.
