What to do if my model pass in all drift and displacement checks but somehow still gets extreme irregularity and irregularity exists in some lateral load cases?

Do I need to consider torsional irregularity for 2 storey residential. Building due to architectural arrangements of column and beams

Most of the codes suggest to calculate torsional irregularity, largely for the structures experiencing lateral loads. For instance, Seismic Design Category of your building will suggest to calculate this irregularity or not.
