I have seen panelboards installed in crawlspaces. There is a development near here that was built in the 1960's, split level houses where the panelboard is mounted in the crawlspace. One such house had a new 150 amp service installed in the crawlspace. And this passed inspection too. NJ has a rehab code that permits a new panel to go back in an existing location even if the location is no longer code compliant.

I guess there's one (or more) of everything out there. Just goes to show you, no matter how long you spend doing this, you'll never see it all.
