If the city/public is funding a building, i would think they are checking if it is built to code before they pay the company in full.
If its not built to code, the contractor didnt finish the job and will not be paid until the building is up to code.
If its a private investor building the building, thats on them, they shouldve hired better contractors or been more thorough in their management of their contractors
