One of the things I learned about ordinances in GC while house hunting there was that for a basement to be compliant living space (C/O) you'll need at least an egress window. For a M/D I'd imagine a full egress, exterior stairs and fire door would be a minumum requirement.
Can't lend much to the required steps but it would involve applying for a permit and a permit might result in a status change to single family M/D (probably easier to accomplish than converting to a 'legal-two family). Good chance that either will lead to a re-assessment of the property.
