Well, this appears to be a general Code-Enforcement nightmare.
Asside from the plethora of electrical hazards (not just violations; hazards!):
The ceiling looks like the one with the bootleg incand. luminous ceiling lighting in another post.
The paneling directly over painted studs is another sign of a bootleg room addition in probably a garage or basement.
THe water heater does not appear to have a press. & temp. relief valve or drain --that's a nice bomb!!!
The unsupported and exposed PVC water lines, the layered floor covering. Makes me wonder where the waste goes when you flush the WC; couldn't have been part of a permitted plumbing job, when everything else points to bootleg.
My call: red tag the room as unsafe to occupy, and look closely at whatever the rest of the structure is, with an eye to protecting the property owner from himself.
