First off, even though the inspection was 5 years ago I would contact the inspection company and let them know what you found and they did not!!!
Second what idiot did that repair. Lag bolts and a 2x4 just on 1 side??? I agree with placing a new 2x4 on both sides same length as original 2x4 and drill holes and use 1/4” x 6” hex head bolts with fender washers on both sides and lock washers and nuts but don’t over tighten the nuts. Good luck👍
