There was a question on the building code forum that got some conversation.
Can you pull in Romex before the building is completely dried in?
Contractors seemed to say maybe or it was OK, most of the inspectors just said no.

It sounds like a classic damp location to me. Maybe if they could find NM-c but that seems to be a ghost product. The manufacturer sites I looked at send you to UF when you search on NM-c
