I have always believed in the "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" mentality. Specifically, that if you were only repairing what was there, that I wouldn't have even opened the can of worms. But since you have, when dealing with our town's building department a month ago, we were told that we could do any demo we needed but couldn't create anything new, and that we weren't responsible for any alterations the previous owners had done but that they might have to be remediated if too far out of code, etc.

Good luck!
