White Ungrounded Wire

I don't love this. If it's FMC then they should not have pulled a white wire for an ungrounded conductor. If it is MC cable then it's okay but needs to be taped (reidentified)? Is this correct?

Agreed, if you mean "should not have" pulled a white.

Yes, cables do have certain allowances for hot whites.

Even then, the white should be the line, not the load.

A violation every day of the week. They need to rip it out and pull a correct colored conductor.
