Is that duct tape (loose)?

Yes Marcel.

Buck, it might be better than nothing.

It is not the proper kickout! Would you call it out!!

Thanks!

After thinking about it, I might call a lack of kick-out. I have seen this arrangement before and what usually happens is that water runs between the gutter and brick. If the area is on a shady side and you are in a location with decent rains, algae could eventually grow on the brick or water stains could develop. I would also not trust that the drainage plane behind the brick was properly installed with a weather barrier covering the sheathing. One other thing I would be concerned about is whether the roof flashing was terminated properly so that water did not lap under it and reach the roof deck.
