I can enforce the rule in the NEC that deals with the practical safguarding of people and property, and have the authority to insist that the abandonded wire, etc., be removed!
If I am the AHJ, you must follow my violation notices!
I can also call up the rule dealing with "other factors" found in 110.3(A)8!
I submitted a proposal to address this issue and again it was rejected.
Only one member of CMP 1 agreed with me, and I expect that we will see comments.
This issue is a very serious issue! Why in the past two days here in LA I walked to the convention center from my hotel on Grand avenue (THE PITS) and have taken many pictures, and I have about 6-10 so far showing damaged and abandonded wiring in tree wells, on the walls in a garage and other places showing abandonded LIVE wires.
I will put up a few soon .....
