Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Seller responsibility for unpermitted construction/remodeling
Approximately one year ago I purchased a home sold by seller and ''Help-U-Sell''. I recently learned from a neighbor that there was quite a bit of remodeling/construction without building permits. The entire roof was rebuilt and shingled and a permit was issued to the contractor, but not finaled. The seller replaced and relocated the hvac unit and rewired it himself without a permit. The seller constructed an outbuilding on a slab with electrical and water and no permit applied for. The seller added a dining room to the kitchen area, roughly an 8 x 10 bump out of two load bearing walls with electrical and window, and no permit applied for. I checked with the county office to make sure there were no permits. Do I have any legal recourse to hold the seller responsible for making this right, or does the responsibility now fall on me?
