Buying a house with possible code violations

I thought I finally found something worth while but while going through and signing the disclosure I noticed that some additions to the house were listed as "built without permit" and "may not meet code". Everything looks good and looks to be built well but the added bedroom has a low 6.5-7 foot ceiling.

Since this would be my first property I'm not sure if I'm up for all this. I've read a few threads about people having to knock down the additions all together...

Any thoughts on a property like this and anything I can do before hand to check on things?
