If you live in New Jersey you would be covered under the Rehab Code,

I'm in Canada. According to the simplified code book, the "highest
breaker" (not the main breaker) must be no higher than 67" from the floor.

The main breaker on the existing panel is at 82".

Guess I find out tomorrow what the inspector wants.
