How to convert an electrical panel into a junction box

I'm assuming that this hasn't yet been inspected and obviously hasn't passed inspection. Looks like whoever did it had a lot of practice with macramé!

Ha, nope. It was inspected. We were brought in privately for another reason and found this. Not uncommon in northeaster Pennsylvania

I would think that area would get a lot of influence from the NY, NJ, etc. areas and you would be knee-deep in permit and inspection requirements! Hard to believe they get away with stuff like this.
 
I have to be honest with you. Much of the Poconos has a lot of contractors from NY & NJ that talk a good game and talk about how tough NJ is but the proof isn't in the pudding. A lot of their work leaves a lot to be desired. So, either the enforcement over there isn't as tough as they say or they are working in PA because they can't in NY NJ.... Who knows.
