Historic home - Seller did not pull permit on work done. Issues?

Hello BP

I am looking at a property that would be a flip for me. The house is 97 years old and is in a historic part of town in Tarpon Springs, FL. The owner did get permission to start rehab from the historical society and has completed some of the rehab already. The work was done by him and a friend or two and they did not pull permits to do the work. My questions are

1. Will I have issues with the city trying to pull the permits after the work has been completed?

2. Should I pull permits on the completed rehab or just sell it as-is?

3. Has anyone worked with the city of Tarpon Springs and historical society of Tarpon Springs?

He has all completed

- All New plumbing

- New electrical panel and half the house is rewired

- 2 of the windows

Thank you for your help BP

Kevin
