Is this faulty because of the lack of angle? See anything else?

1. The dishwasher drain line needs to have an air gap fitting installed…
2. It is hard to tell with the angle of the pic but the pipe must slope to drain.
That hot water line should be replaced with a braided stainless steel line

Dishwasher drain line could have had a high loop installed installed instead of an air gap (but it didn’t).

I can’t quite tell, but it looks like the drainage fitting to connect the two sinks together is a Tee and should be a SanTee, unless it has an internal baffle.

Am I looking at this right? Is the water to the Dishwasher tapped in below the the shut-off? There’s a false sense of security!
Ditto the comments from Jerry and Todd by the way!

Looks like there is a duplex receptacle installed behind the plumbing as well. Is it GFCI protected?

No GFCI Rick. That is one of the reasons I posted, but apparently it does not need one.

Correct.
Kitchen - GFCI protection is only required for receptacles which serve the countertop spaces.

moving the dishwasher “y” fitting to the other sink bowl to facilitate the high loop mentioned earlier and eliminate all the 90 degree turns currently shown. This would help to also eliminate possible backing up in the sink from the heavy flow during discharge. I see it all the time and that is usually the culprit. Switching to the other bowl allows almost a straight shot downward to the trap.

I never heard that before.
What's up with Air gaps, growing up we never had an air gap than the next house we did have the air gap. now I never see them.
Was it code for a while than change to against code?
Thanks, sorry to go OT.
