This may be "grandfathered in", but should be be done for your own protection. Having it "known" in paperwork and not doing something about it might lead to being denyed an insurance claim in case of an electrical house-fire.
The meter placement is probably
not code, I'm suprised someone got away with it, and the city inspector let them.
-It may be the responsibility of the ultility company or the city to move it to a code-compliant location......
-Isn't the homeowner responsible for everything after the meter only?
I'd advise ponying up a few hundred for proffessional advice.
Mabye negotiations might be possible.
