  -> Thank you, Vassili. Or "illegal construction", because not all illegal additions to homes involve 'building'. Closing a veranda off with glass, for instance, normally requires a licence, too.

neutral  Faye J. Vasiliadis: They are for sure illegal. However, I mostly see the term as Unauthorized and Unapproved. I wouldn't use "unapproved", since we would have to explain "By whom", but I guess I d go with Unauthorized.

  -> Sorry, but 'Category of unauthorized' is not good English! The asker was asking for a translation of αυθαιρεσία in κατηγορία αυθαιρεσίας. In any case, an αυθαίρετη κατασκευή is also widely known as an illegal construction in English.
