Re: Water Heater
What I see at first glance, starting with the first photo and progressing to the last photo, is:

- T&P flex copper is unsupported
- T&P flex copper connects to PB for T&P discharge line - PB is not approved for use as T&P discharge line material
- T&P PB discharge line goes uphill
- no sediment trap on gas line
- gas line bend, and weigh of gas line, could cause a kink with the gas line coming vertically up off the gas valve like that
- what's that scorch mark above the gas valve
- water heater setting in drain pan, which is intended to catch water in it, which will cause the water heater to rust out
- B vent is not secured to draft hood
- draft hood is not secured to top of water heater
