A local building official tried to tell me I could not have a lighting and appliance panel board in the dwelling hallway. I had placed it there to shorten the branch circuit runs to the bedrooms. In all innocence I asked him to write it up so I could justify the delay. I was assuming it was some building code thing with which I was unfamiliar. He did not write a notice and the electrical inspector signed it off. Building inspector then threatens to hold up the rest of the project but he still won't write a notice.

Does anyone know of some legitimate building code reason for not having a panel in a residential hallway if all clearances are met?
