Hot water heater next to breaker box

Good Morning,

My husband and I are currently in progress on a flip and I have a question regarding the location of the hot water heater. The main electrical panel is located in the same closet as the hot water heater and I'm wondering if we are going to have issues come inspection time. I am not familiar with the code to know if they will try and make us move it. There are no issues actually accessing the panel but the hot water heater is about a foot and a half away from the front of it. This is how it was when we purchased it and planned to just leave it the same. I'm looking for guidance on whether or not this will be an issue when we go to sell. Thanks!
