Kitchen sink draining issues at my new place!

I think the issue may be the trap layout? Snaked the drain 25 ft, no horrible clogs. Traps are clean... any suggestions would be appreciated. Think I may have moved into a sh*t show condo‍

You hit the nail on the head. Water doesn't flow up hill.....

do you own or rent...if you rent its on the owner to make it right...….have you tried the cleanout plug pictured below the drain???????

You have to drop that drain down a bit

That’s what I figured, thought that there being a vent stack, it would drain, but was just guessing, I do flooring and bathroom and kitchen remodels, so only light plumbing. Guess this guy didn’t know what he was doing. Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply, my landlord is out of state, and was hoping for a quick fix it myself. That’s another vent stack to another drain separate of other one. Guess guy shoulda used that one.

the only way I see you making it work properly is to use whats called a drum trap, you will have to look it up for pics....water goes in the bottom and out of the top I had one on my kitchen sink along time ago and it never clogged I had one on a tub drain and it worked fine take a look it should glue or clamped together

I can imagine your dishwasher pbly backs up into your sink while draining, because the resistance of that heavy convoluted slug of water in your crazy drain is hard to get moving.
The basket strainer is so close, and flowing water will take the easiest route.

Hate to say this and I never say this. I think I would take that branch tailpiece out and put a second trap just for the DW. I know it sucks, but that there sucks worse.

What exactly are your symptoms?
I would assume probably what Jeff Handy said above.
But does everything flow out and the sink empties, after a little delay?
