Would this be considered a s-trap that needs to be pointed out? if so what would be the wording?

It's not an "S" trap, but without a wider perspective, it's difficult to tell if there isn't other problems.

I agree w/ Jeff.
I also agree w/ Jeff that the picture size makes it difficult to tell if there are any other problems. Kevin </IMG></IMG></IMG> Kevin M. Kenny, Sr. Kenny Home Inspections Oak Forest, Illinois 60452 Nachi #6070990 http://kennyhomeinspections.com

...what they said and it wouldn't hurt for the dishwasher drain line to be at least high looped.

No vent?
Or just not in the picture? “Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” - Thomas Jefferson |

i believe that both your sink and the disposal should connect together with a T, then 1 trap, then out to stack.
the chrome trap would likely drain in part, into the pvc trap. even if the disposal trap was installed on it's own, the bottom piece is still installed bass ackwards and too low. the water would have to drain down into the trap, then travel up, way up, then out the horizontal leg of the drain. recommend remedial action by qualified plumber.

The traps at those sinks must be at the same level when sharing a trap arm.
The trap on the right, could actually fill the trap on the left. If your jurisdiction allows a "shared trap arm" (which mine doesn't), the are required to be joined with a wye, or combo-wye (with a clean-out), and run at the same level from the traps to the vent. Also, the trap on the left looks too deep (because the parts were used improperly).
