Light switch mounted to closet shelving

[tonype]

The shelving is sort of permanent (I guess it can be removed). Are there any violations here?

Only violation might be if there is no box that the switch is mounted in. Can you see behind/beside that shelve cabinet?

I agree with Bill a box or a box extender if the box is recessed would be required.

You need to remove the switch plate.
