House not built to code

nati123

Got a new house built by a local builder and realized after moving that the floor span calculations do not meet the code

Builder used Weyerhauser Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) #1 M-29 premium lumber 2X10(16" OC). The maximum allowable span is 16'-9".

The span length on the house floor is 17' using 2X10. How safe is this?
Can the builder be taken to court over this? What are my options as a new home owner?
