I will share that it is difficult to convert any SFH or duplex to a triplex as you go from IRC building code (1-2 family homes) to IBC building codes which are much more restrictive as it is for any commercial building which is any 3+ unit including 100-200 unit apartments so there is sound and fire ratings that have to be adhered to.Hope this helps.

1-4 units is residential5 units and up is considered commercial. 

Bottom of unit would remain commercial.
