I'd be talking more about flashing @ the beam penetration, and steel reinforcement at all the bearing points (Simpson stuff).
Depending on how the rest of it looked, I might have more to say.

Thanks Kurt,
Flashing was present both above and below the ledger and beam. The ledgers were also bolted; with the bolts installed two per joist bay and staggered.
I guess what initially caught my eye is there is not any bolts or lag screws, let alone any other type of connector, connecting the top of the stair to the landing above; and I was not able to see any solid connection point at the bottom either.
The only reference I have been able to find is the stairs must be able to support 40 lbs psf of tread area or a 300 lb concentrated load acting over 4 sq inches --R301.5 table note c

You shouldn't be in the residential code, for the structure you described you need to be in the regular building code.
I sure don't like the grain run out on the bottom tread cut.

What do you want to bet that the nails at that hanger are only driven into sheathing?

There's lots of questions I have about this, but it's hard to tell from a couple pics.
Could be into sheathing, or not. Could be lots of things.
One thing it is, is inadequate.

That was the first thought that came to my mind.
I agree it is highly probable that the secondary hanger is only installed into sheathing. It is in the rim / band joist area the best case is it is installed in an engineered rim joist.

Thanks Peter. You are correct I was looking in the wrong code section. This does help.
