Here's one I've never encountered:
We're doing a residential remodel where there is the main house and a guest house, each with their own service.
Between the houses is a three way switch for outside lighting, and they want to add more switching between the homes.
Any thoughts on potential code issues here? Seems like there is at least accessibility issues here.
Seeing that you could throw the main breaker at the guest house, and still have a live switch inside, brings up a red flag.
Thanks for any help.

Article 225.30(D) allows additional branch circuits for the use of lighting controls between buildings.

Thanks for the reply.
I called our inspector and he really didn't have a good answer for me, just to make a label at the main disconnect stating that switching is shared between the homes (for the fire dept.)
Good to see something in the code about this issue.
