Nah, that looks pretty up to code.

All that wood is quite weathered - I'm impressed it's stayed up that long
Might not be that long, they could have easily had it all lying around. They don't seem like the type to go out and buy new lumber just because.

That's not true at all.
The bowing out wood underneath makes it look WAY more precarious to the average person. Without some sort of visual out audio cue to signal stress, often people assume that anything that stands without moving and looks intentional is secure.
In summary, if you remove them, unobservant people will lose out on their opportunity to look upon it with fear.

Chair needs to be closer to the front, otherwise it's a wasted view.

Funny. Nice cantilever balcony

It looks like the entire image is tilted, to make it look like the balcony is sagging.

The wood looks weathered, but not rotten. And the joist on the front is probably the most weathered, since it is the most exposed to sun and rain, while the others have been protected by the roof.
I'd argue for a thorough inspection, and my bet is that most of the joists would be in pretty decent shape. Replace the ones that need replacing, and then sand and stain for better weather resistance in the future. Would probably be a project that takes a couple weekends for a competent DIY-er.

It does have a mild fish-eye to it.

That thing is waaayyy too long to be cantilevered. 24" of max overhang is a pretty typical standard for deck. That doesn't include the roof. Even with that, they would need to have modified the supporting exterior wall to handle the extra load.
The question is when not if it's going to fall off the house.

As long as the room isn't sand or gravel it won't fall.

Most decks don't have 12" joist supporting them..... Plus, the roof appears to be cantilevered as well.

Tbh it's hard to tell, it really looks like a house with interesting bones that got wrapped in shitty vinyl in the early 00'. But I'm not seeing any anchoring hardware, so there's a chance that the joists are interconnected with the ones supporting the second floor.

I'd call that bit more than mild, and Unless the top is cropped off, it just looks tilted to me.

Well I think you're right that it's also tilted.
