OK I'll bite.
I see at least 5 violations.
Not enough clearance between the service entrance conductors and the low voltage utility/ sat. TV cables.
Metal conduit connecting the meter hub and the disconnect not bonded (PVC would have been a better pipe for this use)
Wires connecting the load side of the meter and the line side of the disconnect are from the SEC. These wires are only allowed for use in the cable assembly they came from. THHN/THWN conductors would have been a better wire for this use. Also, it's hard to tell from the pic, but, I would question the size of the conductors vs. the allowable conductor size of the line and load lugs on the disconnect. It's possible the cable is too large for the lugs.
That neutral block appears to be installed too close to the disconnect load side terminal. Also, the cable assembly ground doesn't fit in the lug on the neutral bar. I would question if this block is approved for the use. Overall I would ask to see the disconnect switch manufacturers installation instruction as per location and catalog # for the neutral block.
No supplemental ground (water pipe or rod) bonding taking place at the service entrance neutral bonding point.
I'd also like to see the "suitable for use as service equipment" approval on the disconnect.
Let me know how I did.
