They have filters, but have definitely seen them without risers.
I also see brand new houses that had their town inspections the previous week where receptacles in the kitchen are not GFCI protected (there are 4 and 1 got missed). Or a bathroom. Or they're missing AFCI breakers where required in NC. Or no rails and the front porch is over 30”. Or the deck ledger bolts never got nuts put on them or they're not tightened. And those are just the cut and dried things. Municipal inspections just don't catch everything.
Then consider time going by and owners can remove risers and build over the tank if they wanted to not follow the rules they may not even know about.
