Clearance below overhead service drop

We're above the window. That shouldn't be an issue.

True, But if that was a balcony then it would nedd to be 3' over or 10' above

I am wrong about the 5' rule. Although I was always taught to stay 5' above the window at all times.

We have to remember good practices don't make it code. My first day as an inspector I failed someone for doing something I thought was a violation and something I would not have done. But I quickly found out after he challenged me to find an article, that it was just how I was taught and not code! I learned a lot from that 1st inspection

Very True. That is why I decided to look into the code further.

Looks like the window opens.

If the window opens then I stand corrected, but to me it looks like it is a picture window. I have been wrong before and will be wrong again though.
