***Electrical violation***

[Bill E.]

i am living in a one bedroom apartment in a big apartment building. There is a breaker box located in my kitchen. The box is visable, but can not be opened because the oven is covering the lower right half. The only way to open it is by first moving the oven. Is this a violation? What should be done.

Yes, you must be able to access the panel without having to move anything. Should be clearance In front of and around panels.
