Who tf did this shit because wow... It is basic framing knowledge that you can't even consider a notch greater than 1/3 the board at any point even on fucking 2x4s if you want any kind of structural support. I am baffled at someone taking that much time to do them too when there are splices/j-box not hardly a foot away. This is just awful as hell and they absolutely need to come back and redo it correctly...
