My reply was in regard to commercial applications. I agree that as inspectors we don’t have the right to enter a residence unless there is an open permit. In our state though, we as inspectors do have the right to cause the disconnect of dangerous electrical equipment if that equipment is found imminently dangerous to human life or property. While we may not be able to enter a site, if it is visible and a life safety issue, we can still act on it. I agree George. I see a lot of it.

Elec-Spec:
Welcome to ECN!

In NJ, we have the same basic laws, iminent danger, etc. Entry IF an open permit exists, and refusal of entry causes a $250-$500 fine.

Basically, what I see as 'concern' I give to the uniform Fire Dept for follow-thru, as they do what some consider 'Property Maintenance'.
