Cellar Kitchen Compliant?

We bought a condo duplex with a kitchen in what i understand is officially a basement. Since buying the apartment we’ve learnt that basement kitchens are not compliant with code and we’re advised that we should relocate the kitchen upstairs or risk having problems when we come to sell the property. Given that when we bought the property it came with a certificate of occupancy my question is whether the kitchen can be considered grandfathered in and as such ok to stay where it is.
