I contacted our borough and left a message asking if permits are required for new roofs. Waiting to hear back. If they are, I do not believe they obtained one per the seller disclosure, but they may not have been required to.

If no permit is required, I don’t think there is anything else we can go after the sellers for (just my non-legal educated guess). I think the main action here is going after the contractor but not sure thats possible when we didn’t hire/sign the contract.

Have calls in for roofers to give use multiple estimates and opinions. Called our insurance broker today and she said to wait for that info and then we can file a claim. She also advised seeking possible legal advice for going after the contractor because a 1 year old roof, with no storm damage, should not be leaking if properly installed.
