Buying a Property that has unpermitted work

I would like to get some feedback. We have a SF under contract that already has an addition added that is bringing in rental income. Great location with Cashflow looking to be about $650 per month after PITI. The problem that we are finding is that they have added a lot of work to the house that doesn't seem to be permitted (new kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and the addition). I am not worrying about paying higher taxes for this property, but I am concerned about any possible liabilities to the unpermitted construction and problem reselling in future. Has anyone ever had this problem? What are the steps to get permits after construction?
