The disconnect is about 150 feet away. It sounds like the gray area is that
the NEC does not define the distance. I guess some electricians might
interpret that it's ok anywhere on the property, others say it has to be
attached right to the house wall. It is interesting that the NEC doesn't
define the distance. My brother is mostly worried that if he doesn't take
care of it now, then he might be required to remedy it if he tries to sell
the house later.

Why would he be required to do that? If it met Code when it was installed,
that's all that's needed.
