At your request, we have performed a site inspection of the project at the
above-referenced address regarding issues raised by the city building
inspection. Issues were identified at two locations where header support
trimmers bear on floor decking between joists. See Figure 2.

Bracing between joists is difficult due to plumbing through the joists. We
recommend bridging between the joists with steel because of the limited space
available due to the plumbing. See the detail below in Figure 2.
