You may have a bit of problem.
The patio cover may or may not have been built according to the present codes.
The location of the patio cover may have been too close to the property line and violate the zoning and use requirements.
Was the contractor involved in any legal things like codes/inspections OR was made aware of the property lines that you may have been aware of? You own the property the cover is on and cannot enfringe on neighboring property rights.
Building codes (how you build) are separate from land use/location regarding the type of structure and the physical location.
