I would deny the request. 

In that case give the PM permission to push back on their abuse of the maintenance request system.

Hi,I was recently denied a HELOC because one half of my two-unit is rented (I was shocked).

., I was recently denied a Home Line of Credit bc the loan on the investment property was under my name (along with my business partner) vs being with the LLC.

(Sad that this is today's baseline).Unsatisfactory tenants: pay rent but needs prompting and is sometimes late, doesn't keep the house neat, fairly regular BS service calls, complainers, causes occasional trouble with neighbors, generally reflects poorly on our business.GTFOO my house tenants: non-pays or only partial pays, nothing but excuses, abuses the property, causes trouble with neighbors, live like filthy slobs. 

Your paying the premium, but there is a very good chance the insurance carriers will deny any claims given it is being occupied as a Rental and not a Primary Home.

You an supply salt, but may also be abused.

The bigger issue is that the tax rolls don't reflect two units.You need to get permit records to know what you are dealing with.If you are asking this question here I don't think I would advise you to dive into the deep end and legalize the unit as an ADU.no permits. and yeah, trying to retroactively legalize the addition as an ADU seems risky. they could deny and then also require the additional unit to be removed or converted back, right?

You tell the PM, "I don't want kids in my property so deny them".
