Default Does NEC require a Main Breaker Panel inside the home?

Instead the main breaker is outside near the pole which the home
inspector is calling a "supplementary disconnect."


How far is it from the disconnect to the house? Every structure is
required to have a disconnect (see my previous post). If the pole
disconnect is 50 feet away, then I agree an additional disconnect is
required on the house. If the pole disconnect is 3 feet away, then it
seems fine as is. The exact distance at which an additional
disconnect is required is subject to interpretation by the local
authority.
