In Oklahoma,the AHJ has the final decesion along with the fire marshal, and that is final, if it is not done, no final inspection, and they'll cut off the service. Not all AHJ's are like this but most of them are getting this way and will later this year when we have a statewide uniform building code. If the AHJ told us this we would have to tell the owner that it'll have to be replaced and it's up to us to work it out or not.
