Vent Under Cabinet Missing Duct, Part 2

[Tom T]

I bought a new house last year and I had a home inspection completed at the close to one year mark. The inspector noticed under the two bathroom vanities and the kitchen sink that are 'missing heating boots'. The heat in those cavities is something else when we turn up the heat to start the day. They are melting the dishwasher pods through the container. If this doesn't meet code, I don't know how they are going to pop those open to fix things properly. Here are some pics, starting with the main bathroom:

And the kitchen; illustrating the heat melting the pods:

I'm from Canada, so I am hoping there is someone out there that knows whether or not this went against a building/ heating code here.

We do have some good Canadiens here and even a Canadien section....They would see it better there, but one of them will see this soon I imagine...

I will look for the Canadian section and repost. Thank you!

When you see no evidence of glue, does it make you wonder if there is any?

Forgive my ignorance, where should the glue be?

Well I don't want to alarm you but I would expect to see some excess between the fittings. Just because there is none does not necessarily mean that there is none ... when I impersonated a lawyer I would say, "The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

Any advice on how I would confirm that?

Wouldn't that mean that there is a good chance it's like that behind the wall?

No, and you don't need to confirm that. It's not leaking ... it has glue ... I see nothing .. I didn't even get up this morning.
