What to do if the builder doesn't respect the warranty?

Hi all,

I purchased a new build single family house last December and just found out there are several issues with the house: the bathtub is not installed, the roof is unfinished, the ridge flashings are not installed, plumbing pipe boots are not installed correctly and it results in rain water flowing into the house and leaked through the attic to the second floor then went on to the first floor. It caused stains on the ceilings and dry wall crack. The house is still under 1 year warranty but the builder refused to take any responsibilities. Is there a way to hold the builder responsible for these? Should I go for a legal route? Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

thanks,

Yong

How did you close this house??? 

Have you not done any inspection before closing? 
Have you not checked all the designs and upgrades you chose? 
Sorry that I am not sure how to handle it legally against the builder
