Most home inspectors are real estate agent failures and are dumber than
a box of rocks.* As Ed suggested, glue and screw a sister to each joist.


You could not have said that better. I have always wondered if they go
to bars and hire winos to be inspectors, or just pick the ones who are
sleeping in the hallways at the unemployment offices.

A piece of 1/4" steel plate could also be bolted across the notched
parts and extended at least 8 inches on each side of them. That's
probably over-kill, but stronger is always better than weak.
