Odd Infill Roof Framing
This is new construction. The infill framing where a gable ties into the main roof was framed with rafters and a ridge board. The framers added numerous 2X4 posts along the rafters down to the roof decking below (above the trusses). The posts were nailed to the rafters (2 nails) and toenailed (2 nails) to the decking. The bottoms of the posts are squared off (not cut to match the slope of the decking).
Apparently this framing was passed by the local building inspector. I don't see the need for the posts. Plus I doubt the underlying trusses were designed for the additional point loads of these posts.
How would you report this?
