It might be more helpful to call out the problems you actually see in these photos as an aide to other inspectors.

I see the lack of K or X bracing and the posts in contact with the ground.

Any one else?

And how about the lack of stoops in front of the doors and the excessive step to grade?
Michael: It would take up a lot less bandwith to just list what is right with them. The only thing in that department that comes to mind is that none of them is attached to MY house.
