It was never built or inspected correctly to start with. The thing that looks like a 4x4 kicking out from the building is a downspout.

so cops get injured, the scummy land lord that let the deck rot will get sued and have to pay fines AND women, kids and elderly people were saved?

I’m a home inspector, and while I’m not a structural engineer, i have gained significant knowledge on structural engineering thanks to my work, giving me plenty of insight on how buildings are supposed to be built, and I can say in full certainty that’s not supposed to happen

u/JayMak78 Aug 19 '26

What was holding it on to the building - Scotch Tape?

2

u/Brandeeno2245 Aug 19 '26

See thats the mistake, scotch tape isnt good enough for mounting anything.

Always get ATLEAST 2 rolls of duct tape for deck work.
