Accessory dwelling units

I bought a house that has an unpermitted accessory dwelling unit in Loma Linda CA. The unit us very well done and I'm wondering if it's possible to get It permitted or if it's even worth the trouble.

I know ADUs are allowed in this area but we need a permit to build one. Since this one is already built, I'm scared that if i start down this path to getting it permitted, the local authorities are gonna bite me.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Most of the ADUs "permitted" in LA City have not been actual new construction, they're permitted via its "ADU amnesty" program. Should check to see if your city has one; might help when getting financing or at resale.
