Applying to keep as is will likely not succeed since they are applying for something that is not allowed.

No recourse. Unfortunately the previous owner did not follow procedure and performed work that was not approved. This is not the first time that a violation was inherited (I am one).

And finally. Nobody. Nobody checks because nobody thinks to.
As I see it, the only recourse is to take them to court for not disclosing this to them at the time of sale.
