LOAD BEARING LEDGER ANCHORING QUESTIONABLE: 
Often people will build and attach decks onto the building by directly fastening them to the siding with a few nails. It is required that any load bearing deck be fastened with sufficient strength to handle, at least, 40 pounds per square foot. The fastening methods available to attain this capability are varied. If this item is checked it may indicate the inspector notes some slippage or looseness is presently occurring. Typically large lag bolts will suffice as proper fastening devices but each situation differs. This item may or may not be easy to remedy. Usually the inspector will indicate some remedy at the site. Be aware that the inspector is not in any way guaranteeing that his suggestion will suffice as a remedy to this situation. It is highly recommended that you obtain the services of a General Contractor to resolve this particular problem. Contact a General Contractor for assistance if necessary.
