My architect delivered plans With Wrong room Dimensions!

Dear BP Community , I need your advice on how you would handle this situation.

I am deep into my first fix and flip in NYC. I just determined that my architect delivered plans/renderings that are not accurate. My plumber discovered this when planning for the installation of new pipes. After taking a closer look and measuring myself, I found there are rooms that show windows where windows are not even located! This is not a small mistake. 

In NYC the inspectors seem to prey on this kind of error and a violation could pop up any moment. That's not all - Framing has begun and we worked off of the plans. Now we are realizing some rooms need to be reframed. This lack of attention to detail is costing me time and money and I have clearly lost faith in this architect. BUT I need him to finish the job. 

So as I mentioned - I would love some constructive feedback. What would you do in my situation?

@Bob Razler @Brian Pulaski @Jim Adrian Wanted to give you guys a quick update. I had the conversation with the architect and he agreed to fix the issues at no cost to me. In regard to violation coming up he agreed to cover expenses if any come up while he is amending the plans. Im pretty happy with the outcome. 

Thank you guys very much for the feedback on the matter, I really appreciate it!
