Does anyone know what the height requirement for the highest circuit breaker handle in an apartment for disable people is?

Sounds like an ADA question to me, but I still don't know the answer

Re: subpanel height

To go with other ADA reach limits it would be 54" if it can be accessed from the side of a wheel chair, or 48" if only front access is possible.

Re: subpanel height

It depends on what code New Jersey adopts for accessiblity. If it is the ADAAG, go with what Roger says. If it is the ICC/ANSI A117.1, 48" is the max, with no provisions for a 54" unobstructed side approach.
