Yeah,
There are about half a dozen various screws designed and rated for ledger to house attachment now. Most of them are self-drilling types and I guess it's up to the screw manufacturer whether or not they're supposed to have washers. Absent instructions from the screw manufacturer, you're kind of screwed. I'd probably recommend the buyer find out who built the deck, then contact the contractor to find out who made the screws and then use that information to determine if they'd been installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specs.
ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Every County in Maryland that I'm aware of requires 1/2" bolts. They each have their own permit, inspection procedure (footing, framing, finish, etc.).

Wrong hand as well.
Quote: Rings are supposed to hurt a bit, but the general rule is the pain is spread out over 40 or 50 years.
If it lasts that long. Ends abruptly, full measure of pain delivered instantly.

Download the Baltimore County deck specs, they state "House band board - use minimum 1/2" carriage stagger bolted 16" or minimum 2 Ledger Locks 16" on center." I think the rest of the Maryland counties are the same but they haven't updated their on-line specs to say that yet. I know I've seen it in Carroll and Anne Arundel.

This is why I've always leased and never bought. Once they get miled up, scratched, dented, and start making noise, You can turn them in for a new one and not take the hit for depreciation

Checked in for the latest on a couple of other counties in Maryland (Howard & Carroll) and their specs for ledger attachment say "For other approved attachment such as LedgerLok: Fastener shall be 7? oc staggered up to 12? joist span, 5? oc over 12?." I believe your picture indicates the need for more fasteners.
