This should help you decide if you need to pump up the floor or use a leveling topcoat to the existing slab.
I don't believe it is your responsibility to determine weather or not a permit had been pulled originally for the lanai. If the current work required a permit; I would pull a permit and get that work inspected, and go on with life with your lanai that has "passed inspection".

definitely not his/her responsibility, I mention this for two reasons. First if extension was done with w/o permit it could be a sign foundation wasn't done to code, many times I have seen where a lack of Co has held a closing/settlement up.
