15) 
One or more sections of flex duct are improperly supported and installed in a substandard way. This hood vent for the exhaust from the gas range is very warm and moist air.
This condition will slow the air movement from the exhaust fan and will cause these hot moist gases to condense in the cold attic and allowing moisture to accumulate in the attic.
A qualified HVAC contractor should evaluate and install ridged or semi-ridged ducts and/or cut to length as necessary.

17) 
At the time of the inspection the outside air conditioner has no equipment ground. This load center utilizes the metal conduit to electrically bond this panel to the main panel.
The installation of the plastic conduit at the air conditioner has compromised this grounding system and may pose a safety hazard for shock.
The breakers for the air conditioner should be turned off until an electrical contractor can verify and document that this electrical system is properly grounded.

18) 
In the sub panel there is a multiwire branch circuit , which is where 2 ungrounded (hot) conductors will share a single grounded (neutral) conductor.
There are special requirements for this type of circuit, which must be followed to insure safety. The breakers must be installed on separate bus bars (next to each other).
The breaker handles must be tied together in the sub panel, so that if one breaker trips it will cut power to both circuits.
This can be accomplished using handle ties, or a double pole breaker. Inspector recommends evaluation by a qualified electrician.

22) 
The exterior combustion air grill for the water heater cover was the wrong style for this application. This style of vent cover has louvers which can close.
This is safety hazard and can cause back drafting at the water heater. Recommend a qualified contractor install a vent cover designed for this purpose.
There is outside air brought into the mechanical room. In the winter this will bring in very cold unconditioned air.
This is called Combustion air and it is brought in, so the water heater flames have an adequate supply of oxygen.
Recommend installing weather stripping around the closet door to prevent cold air from combustion air duct entering living spaces.
All work should be done by a qualified contractor.

24) The outdoor air temperature was below 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the inspection. Because of this, the inspector was unable to operate and fully evaluate the cooling system.
The air conditioner appeared to be installed in 2012. A servicing should be performed every few years in the future, or as per the manufacture's recommendations.
Three Simple AC Maintenance Items
The estimated useful life for an air conditioning compressor is 8 to 15 years depending on usage, maintenance practices and other factors. This unit appears to have exceeded this age.
The circuit breaker installed at this sub panel for the service disconnect and for the exterior AC compressor/condenser unit is incompatible with the manufacturers label.
A qualified electrician should evaluate and repair as necessary.

26) The HVAC system appeared to be functioning as designed at the time of the inspection. This system appeared to be installed in 2019.
The last service date of the forced air gas furnace appeared to be within the last 2 years based on information provided to the inspector or labeling on the equipment.
If this is true, then routine servicing is not needed at this point. However, a qualified HVAC contractor should inspect, clean, and service this system every few years in the future.
Prevent CO-Poisonings
No strain relief or bushing was installed for the field line voltage electrical connections at furnace. This is a shock hazard.
The concern is that these sharp edges, due to vibration from the blower motor may cut into the electric cord and cause a short or spark.
To ensure a safe condition exists a qualified HVAC contractor should install a bushing or a strain relief clamp.

27) The liquid (small, un-insulated) air-conditioner refrigerant line and the air-conditioning suction (large, insulated) line was in contact with each other.
They can be taped together for convenience and support purposes, but they must be completely insulated from each other.
To increase cooling efficiency this condition should be corrected by a qualified HVAC contractor if necessary.
More Info
Insulation on the air-conditioning suction (large, insulated) line was damaged or missing at areas. It should be replaced, if necessary, by a qualified HVAC contractor to improve efficiency.

29) An appliance connector was used in a manner for which it was not listed by a certifying agency. Gas connectors should never be used as a substitute for gas piping.
This condition may result in the development of dangerous conditions related to the release of natural gas into the living space.
The Inspector recommends correction by a qualified plumbing contractor.

34) The kitchen electric receptacles that serve countertop surfaces appear to have no ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection.
They have been required in kitchens within 6 feet of the sink since 1987 and all kitchen countertops since 1995.
This is a safety hazard due to the risk of shock. A qualified electrician should install GFCI receptacles or circuit breaker(s) as needed.

36) There are Trip Hazards at the hallway/bathroom floor. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), trip hazards are defined as a change in any vertical level over 1/4 inch.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair to eliminate the trip hazard(s).

39) The Inspector recommends replacing all carbon monoxide detector(s). Carbon monoxide alarms have a limited life, typically 5 to 7 years.
Carbon monoxide detectors monitor indoor air and sound an alarm if dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide are detected.
The presence of a CO alarm may give you a false sense of security. It could even lead to unsafe combustion practices, thinking that if the air becomes toxic, the alarm will warn you.

42) A switch in the family rom appeared to be inoperable at the time of the inspection.
The inspector was unable to determine which device it was intended to control. You should ask the seller about its operation.
If you are unable to accurately determine its functionality, consider having it examined by a qualified electrical contractor.
Improperly operating electrical switches can be a potential fire hazard.
