Right in the NYC code amendments under uses not permitted:

ARTICLE 358
Electrical Metallic Tubing: Type EMT
SECTION 358.10
Subsection 358.10(C) – Delete the subsection in its entirety.
SECTION 358.12
Subsection 358.12(7) – Add a new subsection 358.12(7) to read as follows:
(7) For underground or exterior installations or in wet locations.

You should be more "Woke" instead of saying "crazy" you should have said "interesting".
