I know this is probably open for an AHJ interpetation. There were these funiture partions installed (the type that have the power in them). They are just work stations for peoples computers. This is the issue, the j box where the flex goes to hook up the power is 'block' by a section of the partition.
In order to get to the box, one would have to actually 'disassemble' part of the partition and move them to get to it for any reason.
Now I know the 'definitions' are in NEC 2008 100 that says of capable of being 'removed' or exposed without damaging the building ......
But in my opinion this is not 'accessible' and an electrician should not have to dissemble/move funiture partitions to get to it. Another electrician tells me that technically its not a code violation because of the way its worded in the NEC.
What is your opinion??
