One more from my mock inspection. Sorry to bombard you guys, I appreciate the feedback… This is a lattice patio cover spanning across a kitchen bay window. Where it spans across, the ledger isn’t fastened to the property at all and there is a gap between the ledger and the house where it spans across the bay window. Does this seem appropriate, or should this span over the window be attached to house?

The double 2x6 is a “beam” carrying the joists.

Looks fine. The ledger could have been attached to the bumpout wall (no real loading like a deck), but fine the way it’s built. Lattice needs some attention though.

although light weight
generally improper install
no ledger flashing
ledger improperly attached atop stucco
ledger possibly improperly secured to framing
ledger possibly improperly attached to substrate
as far as the side to side span in joist hangers that’s about all that appears correct…ymmv
