Defect: Chimney chase on roof (location) has a large gap in siding at roof chase
junction towards the eaves. Siding on chase is in contact with roofing shingles

point leading to further damage below chase and roofing decking. Recommend repair
of chase siding and installation of proper flashing ASAP by licensed, qualified
contractor(s) to avoid future costly damage.
