I suspect that if the drywall is up the GC is not interested in starting over.

I had one today, EC added a sub....but it's in the WI closet! Red sticker. GC may frame another door to solve problem...or Sparky can move it.

Greg,
The words "Clothes closet" I believe was put in the NEC in the 1981 code book. I still have my 81 code book and there is a mark next to the word clothes closet.

As a home owner / buyer I would insist it was redone as planned - I would be ticked that a work around had been employed on a new structure.

Greg,
We have been on these boards for a long time now. We have seen a lot of people come and go. There have also been a lot of changes to the NEC since then. Yet, we should never stop learning. I learn something new almost every day. (At least I try to!)

The pursuit of knowledge is a race without a finish line.
Someone famous must have said or wrote that!
If not, then it's an original one-liner by me??

We have had that happen twice. Each time we just used J-boxes in the attic. It sucked but considering the circumstances it was the best option.

An interesting side note to this subject recently came up!
Under NJ UCC Electrical Sub-Code....
Translated into common english for clarity; this scenario:
Within a new mobile home (double wide, in mobile home site)
I wrote a violation for the panel being in a clothes closet.
(550.11 (A))
Well, low & behold the phone started ringing....under the UCC 5:23-3.16-6-ii NEC Article 550.11 thru 550.25 are DELETED.
OK, tail between legs, call owner, apologize, and sign off on unit.
Based on the above....sometimes a clothes closet panel location is OK.
