How often do you see this and do you identify it as an issue? There is no soffit venting in this eave so it won't stink up the attic:)

It does not look good to me either, however, I did not find in the code where it is not allowed.

Neither could I. I am thinking if there is no soffit vent it can't do much harm.

These stacks do carry moisture so it would be a good idea to extend through the roof if possible. Otherwise, the soffit area will deteriorate directly above the vent over time.

The house is 8 years old, I didn't notice anything. It is really dry here.
