Since none of us know what structure is hidden inside the exterior
wall of the house, nor how the ledger board holding that end of the
deck is attached to the wall, saying it needs posts under it is
pointless...

Odds are it is not adequately supported given the general
appearance and condition of the rest of the deck... But to
say that without actually having proper pictures or looking
at it to see the conditions is bogus...

That deck is unsafe as built and either needs extensive repairs
or a complete tear down and redo to make it safe...
