VerifiedHello,
You need to notify the contractor that this is not to code and he needs to rectify it to bring it to code. If he does not you can have someone else fix it a nd sue that contractor for the difference.
Put it in writing including the code requirement for your city, which you can get from the zoning department when you applied to build your garage.
