I’m a builder, and this is an absolute shit job. There’s a lot more issues than the just the railing. I wouldn’t pay this guy at all and I’m usually biased towards the contractor. There’s a few ways that this can be fixed but they are all a lot of work to do. If you want to discuss all the things I see wrong and options on how to make it somewhat looking correct you can pm me and we can talk over the phone or something.

I think the best way to fix it would be to start at right railing and have the railing installed between the posts like the left railing. But that would also require for the height of it to be shortened so that the bottom of it is over the stairs, not next to it like left side.
Next remove the front landing rail and rebuild it longer it so the post is over the stairway. Then remove left railing, mount lower post on the step like the right railing, and finally reinstall the stair railing post to post. Of course after it’s shortened to match the new right railing.

Make sense?

Yes and no, if railing height, stair height dimensions, proper support etc etc etc is ok, then it’s ok. If it’s built with all non matching parts and looks like the materials have been recycled from the bottom of the lake, the inspector won’t care. That’s between the customer and contractor. Inspector only cares if it’s structurally sound.
Example, if I’m remodeling a kitchen, inspector will check if everything is correct in walls before I close them up. After that if I install all nonmatching cabinets, paint the room wrong colors, use materials that the customer didn’t choose; the village building dept could care less. It’s not their problem. They’ll say go to court

I agree 100%. But if the guy builds the left railing one way and the right railing another way and they don’t look anything like each other (which in this case they don’t) BUT they both meet code requirements, then inspector will sign off on it and say it’s ok.

Even that railing (left) is wrong. The whole thing is a shit show actually. Railings are wrong, top step looks shorter than others, the bottom rail of landing railings are sitting right on deck leading to premature wood rot from trapped moisture, the right side of deck siding doesn’t match front and left side. I feel awful for OP. I’ve built temporary construction stairs and landings on my job sites that look better than this. Here’s a pic of what it should look like.

Bingo! I couldn’t find a pic with straight rail on right and landing to the left
