Re: Dishwasher
No vent - that's a big problem.

No air gap, either into a disposal, air gap, or into a tailpiece fitting, all of which allows for an atmospheric break between the water being pumped out and the drain gravity draining away.

There is a potential for cross connection.

Accessibility of the trap could be a problem.

There is a minimum/maximum fall distance to the trap, but everything is screwed up, so that cannot even be measured.

Those should serve as good starting points.
