Some ventilation is SMART. It need not be a lot. Open it up...
Seem musky? Make some sort of way for air to flow through.
No? Maybe you are in southern AZ... LOL!
Permanent opening? No, but something that is an easy to remove
panel with just 4 screws is ok. But hinges are sure conducive
to you checking and using for storage. Lattice is sufficient.
A few sq ft on 2 sides...
Slope? So add a little, just a 1/4 inch per linear foot.
Got tons of rain, too? Add a layer of 6 mil plastic.
In some areas, I add an orange 30 second Raid bug bomb,
before I enter. These will penetrate skin and hidden areas
so set it & get out. You might do this at night & go to
work the next day.

The question is do I need to make a permanent access opening or ventilation w/screening? The treated wood boards are nearly fused by debris- of course water still must get down. The deck is not sloped so I dont believe it helps carry water away from foundation as an inspector claimed. If not permanent then It seems easier to just cut a temporary opening and seal up w/ new boards.
