I had these 2 photos sent to me dealing with a RV park connection by a sharp eyed civil engineer who knew something was wrong. This violation list may not be complete as pictures of the overhead feeder were not provided.
1- The location is questionable (appears to be on the passenger side of unit). With the water spigot location, is working space provided. NEC 551.77(A), 110.26
2- Disconnecting means is missing. NEC 551.77(B)
3- Receptacle is not marked as required. NEC 551.77(F)
4- The equipment is not rainproof any more nor in some cases never was. Covers must be weatherproof while-in-use. NEC 551.78(A), 406.8(B)
5- Question as depending on the rest of the distribution system, this may also require a 30 amp receptacle. NEC 551.71
6- Question that the overhead service is really a 4 wire system. NEC 551.75, 551.76(C)
7- The 15 or 20 amp receptacle is not protected against overcurrent. Overcurrent protection on the 50 amp receptacle is most likely too great. NEC 210.21(B)(1)
8- The NM or UF cable between the boxes must be: If NM replaced with a proper wiring method. NEC 334.12, 334.15, 334.30. If UF replaced with a proper wiring method or installed complying with the provisions of article 334 and sunlight resistant. NEC 340.10, 340.12
9- The telephone cable appears to be satin type and not listed for a wet location. NEC 800.4, 110.3(B), 800.50
10- The telephone cable is not properly supported. NEC 800.6
11- The telephone cable and protectors (assuming they exist within the box) are not properly grounded. NEC 800.40
12- What is extension cord doing here? It looks like it may be permanent.
13- GFCI protection is required for the 15 or 20 amp receptacle. NEC 551.71
14- The 15 or 20 amp receptacle is required to be 20 amp. NEC 551.71, 551.81
