In many many cases we have lateral entering 1-2 family home with meters inside.
Poco meters can be operated (shut off) remotely.
Can I keep service disconnects indoors without emergency disconnect outdoors?

We don’t have rough in inspections here. Only final.

Nyc ammendment
SECTION 230.85
Section 230.85 – Add an Exception at the end of Section 230.85 to read as follows:
Exception: If the emergency disconnecting means cannot be located in a readily accessible
outdoor location, or if the utility metering equipment is located indoors, 1 of the following
disconnecting means shall be permitted:

1. A remote disconnecting means provided by the utility
2. An indoor shunt-trip disconnecting means with the control device located in a readily accessibleoutdoor location and marked, “Remote Emergency Disconnect”
3. An approved equivalent means.

Thank you
