Answer:
Hey Larry thanks for your question. The authority granted to a code enforcement official is typically done by the municipality as part of their rules so the municipality needs to answer that question. The NEC gives that responsibility to the Authority Having Jurisdiction as that term is defined in Article 100 and as stated in 90.4. They can vary by jurisdiction but those seem to be very reasonable requests that are directly related to safety and security.
