Was the orginal work Permitted, and if U try and sell U have to disclose.

Without a Permit, you might as well tear the whole thing down, as it has NO Value on resale.

If you don't disclose the problem when U sell the buyer can come back and SUE. That I am sure wouldn't make U a happy camper, as U could lose the whole current value of the house.

Best course is to take a home equity loan and repair with Permits if necessary. That will at least satisify your legal requirements and retain the current market value of the home.
