Most municipalities have licensing boards, and will fine contractors for items that are not up to code.
They can even lose their license.
That is how crappy workmanship gets rectified in houses.

Well that’s the thing...with the possible exception of two miswired outlets it IS up to code. The stuff I experienced was just sloppy workmanship and ultra cheap Chinese products. And the building codes are why it is acceptable to me now that I’ve done my repairs and upgrades. The foundation, framing, insulation electrical and plumbing service (with the aforementioned wiring exception) are standard and safe. But things like an over tightened (cracked) toilet bowl, sloppy roof flashing, and (cheap) paint applied in 20 degree winter weather are not really code issues.
