Hey @Edgar Sanabia, @Devin James hit the nail on the head. I am going to bet that you would not be allowed to convert both garages. You might be able to convince the city that one of them could be an ADU, but I have never seen a municipality allow 2 ADU's on a single zoned lot.
Now because it is a duplex, that could change things. On one hand the lot could be zoned R4. Which might allow the 2 to be converted. It also could be zoned to not allow any ADU's at all because it is already a multi family property.
Time to get on the horn with the city.
EDIT - Here are the rules around ADUs in St Pete, (I am assuming the place is there) - https://www.stpete.org/residen...
