Is this a code compliant electrical installation?

If this was a rough inspection what would you comment?

Total hack job.
I can get a nice metal box in CMU with no damage to the finish.

What’s that yellow stuff?

Jeff, you really shouldn't try to do electrical work!

Come on Mr. Romex! You know what that yellow stuff is. I found it in your truck every day.

Care to enlighten the viewing public how it may have gotten my truck in the first place?

Chris is so into NM cable (wiring method of choice) he even keeps it in his ice chest.

The only code section I can think of off hand is that it can't be embedded in the masonry per 334.whatever....Maybe question where it is supported (12")

Com' on man!

Can be fished in the air space of the block but not to be penetrated through block without being in conduit of some type 334 under exception 2

Is the cmu wall a fire rated wall or a load bearing wall
[ i.e. - rated components ] ?

If you want to be picky: Assuming the screws are Tapcons in masonry, they don't appear to meet the screw's minimum spacing and edge requirements in ESR-1671.
