Unpermitted Room in Los Angeles

[Alondra Carbajal]

Hi! I am currently in escrow for a duplex. I just found out the house has an unpermitted room added that is about 120 sq ft. Has anyone had any success being able to get permits for additions that were built without them. I'm going to need a lot of work in the house if I purchase it and will be having city inspectors come in to check the electrical re-wiring that is needed. I am not sure if it's worth the risk of having them flag the unpermitted room.
