You need to have a licensed electrician inspect the work, then pull a permit and redo anything that is not up to code. They are generally allowed to self-inspect, so the city won’t send their inspector for a small amount of work by a licensed person. The issue is your insurance. If you suffer a fire your insurance company absolutely will send an inspector, and if they see your work and you don’t have a permit and inspection, your insurance will not pay, even if your work had nothing to do with the fire.

Unless they modified something in the breaker box, this is ridiculous to think you have to pull a permit to re-wire some crap in your house.
