constructed or altered in such a manner that the floor of the portion
thereof so constructed or altered and used or usable for living accommodations
(excluding basement, open porches, breezeways, unheated areas and
garage) shall have an elevation less than nine feet above mean sea
level datum at Sandy Hook as determined by the United States Coast
