as mentioned, you need at minimum a 3" vent pipe connection very close to the toilet, i dont recall off hand the exact code, but its something like within 3 feet. also why isnt there a cleanout and the end of the line before the toilet in case of a blockage? there almost always is for exposed sewer lines.

i also notice in your pictures it looks like thats a 4"x 3" 90 on the toilet, im no code expert but no way in hell should you be reducing pipe size after the toilet.

another observation is they seem to be trying to cram everything in tight to the floors to get between the floor joist bracing instead of under them. is there a really good reason they couldnt have run the pipes at more natural way going under the rafters as needed? im mainly looking at that damn cross brace right by the toilet 90

So maybe not the perfect thread for this question but close enough.

In my second bathroom (humble brag), the water in the tub will drain only to the point that it's below the drain cover. So if I take the plug off, I can see the water sitting there about an inch down.

I live on the fourth floor of a five story condo building, and the master bath does not have the same issue. Is there any way to know what's likely causing this? It's not blocked because all the water drains and I've gone at it with one of those 3 foot long clog grabber things. Would be interested to know if it was faulty plumbing from the start, something within the walls of my condo, or something further down the line out of my reach.
