The 'thing' with EMT & 'raintite' compression fittings is a 'ligit' violation.
UL issued a notice that comp fittings were not doing what they are intended to do, and 'un-listed' them. That was about 6-8 month ago, and since, some mfg have regained UL listing. Check your boxes for listing approvals.

As to 'procedures', there are 'Board of Appeals' in all Counties, that meidiate complaints regardinf Code Violations, for all trades.

But, as the wise sages in the above responses stated, you have to choose your battles carefully.

Now, I heard a new one.....romex has to breathe?? This was a much debated subject at another forum (RX in conduit).

As to the 'expansion' plate, you mean a dead end?? I see no reason you can't use that.

As to an interesting violation....how about a one gang plastic old work box (Carlon) that was not 'bonded' (no grd screw/grd clip)
That one is still in my book!
