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.

I agree, this house was built in 1999. If the house didn't meet codes at
that time, a certificate of occupancy wouldn't have been issued. Even if the
location of the disconnect doesn't meet their current codes, Grandfather
laws would keep it in compliance, until such time when the service is
upgraded, and would have to comply with any new code changes.
