That is the#1 thing I find wrong with decks. The AHJ never calls it up and the carpenters around here don’t do it. I must admit that I did not know it was code until a few years ago so I was also putting people at risk without knowing it. I have done inspections where the AHJ was there in the morning to inspect the deck and passes it and then I show up in the afternoon and catch s##t from the seller and the REA for calling it up.
