FLOOR JOIST to ADDITION SEEM UNSOUND

Addition to house had the floor joist 2x8 tied into original joist going to opposite way, with no bracing underneath. Locked like to me the original floor joist were slightly raised. Outside wall had been torn down and garage with bedroom above was added beside the original basement garage. Hope these pictures help. Would this be structurally sound.

Looks like a double joist that now is acting as a girder without proper support…time for engineer since load calculations are involved.
