even if it wat built in 2015 it probably would fail inspection for something today even though that sonething still works like new.
I mean, I helped wire a house at 14 just because my dad thought it would be good to learn, but I'm not a real electrician.
So others probably know more, but to my knowledge that stuff moves slow so not a lot would have changed since 2015...
That being said, new homes are built to meet bare minimum standards and corners are cut everywhere they can be. So it might fail inspection because things are breaking, but not for things that work but have become against code.
