IMG-2005.jpg What say ye? I preformed the rough in inspection and assumed that this was a receptacle outlet, on the final it is a switch. How would you handle this?

but... two prongs can make a light...

Seriously though that would be a valid correction, and hopefully would be an easy correction. they would need to replace with a two-gang box, one of the switch, the other for the receptacles.

I would give the appropriate section in art. 210 and say they are lacking a receptacle for the peninsula. Is there a receptacle at the end of the peninsula?
 
If there is a neutral inside the JB convert it to a switch over receptacle. However, if it's 15A circuit then you have another violation. :cool:

If it were a 15A circuit, he would have noticed the white NM at rough-in.
But you still cannot power lights from an SABC.
 
If its #12 in that switch box what does it control and what does it tie into. If on rough in he thought it was receptacle and now its a switch, Should that now not be tied into the SABC, assuming it is
 
Here is something I never thought about, does the SABC outlet need to be a duplex outlet? Let's say the wall was marble or granite, so cutting it would be a problem but you can feed #12 from the basement below. Could you put a switch/single outlet device there? You would need a tie handle on the breakers.
