Only outside the city limits---our state has no mechanical code, only a few local jurisdictions

No it is not. Yes, it needs to be corrected. Yes, it will be an expensive lesson for the installer.

The hood is not too small. The range is too large. 
Looks like the left side has a blanked off section extending over range. Installation is short on both sides. Remember to maintain the required clearance to combustibles (wooden cabinet.)

If I did that job I would not have gotten a permit either. And I definatly would not have put my tag on the Ansul Automan.
1. No 6 inch overhang of hood
2. Wall cabinet not protected
3. Base cabinet not protected
4. W/O getting my install manual, the nozzles are not protecting the appliance properly. If 1F nozzles are used, the right burners are not protected
5. The alarm wiring should be in flex conduit, not unprotected like it is.
6. Is there anyway to inspect for duct cleanances
7. the fan is not hinged for cleaning. OK, I cannot see the fan, but based on what is visible in the kitchen, I expect the fan is not hinged and the wiring is in the chase or even in the duct.
8. Make-up air?
9. K class extinguisher?
9. 4A60BC extinguisher in the rest of the kitchen?
This does not look to be a resturant kitchen, more like a fraternal hall or church
