AAVs have to be verical to operate correctly. Many small AAVs say they are for use with sinks not a toilet.

I'm pretty sure this is incorrect...if I'm wrong that would be good.
But if I'm not what's the best way to handle this? Could I just try and cap the pipe where the AAV is? or do I need to just rip it all off and re-do it correctly?

Yes, I am trying to correct someone else's work. Could I just try and cap the pipe where the AAV is? or do I need to just rip it all off and re-do it correctly?
Well............You need a vent somewhere within six feet.
Normally there is a lav nearby that you can wet vent it with. In the West, you would be running 2" through the roof.
To meet code, that #12 romex running under the joist need to be protected with a "running board". In reality, it's not a serious safety issue -- unless you start hanging clothes from it.![]()
