hello everyone. I just finished a basement in NJ, the utility room was supposed to be sheetrock last minute change its going to left as is, so I had 1 switch and 1 receptacle in the walls, since sheetrock is no longer going to be installed, I finished the room by installing my switch and outlet, with a regular plate. so it looks exactly as it would in a finished wall just without sheetrock, I failed inspection because "plastic boxes are not rated to be outside sheetrock" and there's an "overhang on the cover". the inspector just kept repeating that's code but wasn't able to tell me WHERE in the code, to me this is idiotic and would appreciate any help on the matter as I am planning to do a formal complain with the building department. (not the first run in with the same inspector)
