Default Vent or Not Vent?

The local AHJ said owner needs to install a p-trap at WM drain, pic #2.

This is under the kitchen sink pic. #1.

The only sewer vent is on the other side of house.

The pic on left, the horizontal pipe may make it ok, if its the proper length. I can't locate the exact length yet. I believe if it is 3" of horizontal run?

The 2nd pic...the horizontal waste pipe is sloped uphill (improper slope) and isn't supported properly. And the washer waste line needs a P-Trap.

I picked up on that negative pitch too David, but thought it was my eyes or pic distortion.

And your right it needs a p trap because it is indirect drain hook-up.
He also mentioned the vent for the sink was on the other side of the House, so is there a studor vent installed for the sink somewhere?

Think the supply pipes to the washer need to be supported with clamps?

If there's no vent anywhere near, air is probably getting sucked in around the tape.
