Legal 1 to 2 BR Conversion

we have a one bedroom apt. that we have converted to a very livable two by putting up a wall. Both bedrooms have windows to out side of building. My question regards the legality of this and how we can legally market the apt. when we decide to sell it. Thanks!

We put the wall up ourselves, so no architect involved. I don't know minimum size requirements, but rooms are about 10 by 12 and both have real windows in them. Meaning, large normal windows that were already in place. Each has a door that opens properly into the room. Does that help? We put up the wall to create space for us knowing it wasn't "legal" but wondering if it's possible to make it so, or if we have to take the wall down to sell. Thanks!
