Other than poor quality of work, this service will meet code, depending on a few issues.
Point of attachment below the weatherhead - but the exception most likey permits it in this instance.
The SE behind the shutter is not great, but it is not in the "hollow" of construction, and can be installed this way.
Remember the NEC is the MINIMUM and sometimes stuff like this will pass.
Do you really expect the bad quality contractor/installer is spending his free time studying or visiting this website???
" don't want to get off-track here, into emotional areas- but the line has to be drawn somewhere. It is kind of hard to look out for the public safety when those you must communicat with are either unable or unwilling to make the least effort to learn the rules, let alone follow them. I translate "No Habla" as "I don't need no stinking NEC.""
I agree that if the men do not speak english, most likely they do not even know the NEC exists, let alone how to read it. So, yes that contractor would (based on our licensing law) would be required to be present to supervise this work.
