Looking for some help with a current project. Adding a jack and Jill bathroom to an unfinished upstairs. Had a plumber help rough in all the plumbing seen in the pictures. The inspector stated I can't use either of the vent 90s and I need to change my venting from 1 1/2 to 2 in pipe. The pictures with drawing are the recommended layout from the inspector. These are 10" on center 2x10 floor joist so it was cramped to say the least.
Failed plumbing rough in?

Understand. Sorry I wasn't really clear in my post, it's definitely going to be changed, really I'm checking on my plumber's work. With the exception of the inspectors comments are the low vent 90 and side 90 allowed to be oriented in this way,

The picture of the toilet- why is it flat vented? Why not use a low heel 90 it the partition and vent vertical? By doing this you won't need to drill joist.
I'm not sure what's in the 1st image.

Is it a plumbing outfit that does construction work or are they service. If they do construction they should be up on code. Failing inspection is not rare around here as they hit you with re inspection fees. He/they should make necessary changes at his expense.

You say that you had a plumber "help rough in the plumbing". Did you hire a licensed professional plumber to rough in the plumbing, or did you hire someone with a license to help you rough in the plumbing? If you paid a professional plumber to do the install, then presumably you had a contract that required the plumber to use ordinary skill to do the work, pull a permit, and install work that would pass inspection. Anything less would presumably require the plumber to redo any improper work at their own expense.

definitely in ohio..so you still didnt answer if you were ever a licensed plumber..still waiting for that..just because your an inspector that can quote out of a code book doesnt mean squat..
Hello all and thank you for the replys. I'm in NC as far as code, but also that means I haven't had power for a few days. I'll respond to the questions and provide more detail about the job once I get everything up and going around here.

In Ohio I was a licensed plumbing contractor. Yet you apparently a troll of the worse kind. We also require Ohio plumbing inspectors to have 8 years verifiable trade experience prior to the test. Which usually only 33 % pass. I also hold a Medical Gas inspectors license. Yet you have yet to even post your first license. Since you do not know the DFU of a Kitchen sink I got to wonder..
