What do you recommend when seeing this?
Looks like an older house resided.
Can you post pics fro further back?
Writing hard?
From the connection on the pole side of the mast down to the meter and into the house is typically the responsibility of the homeowner, at least around here.
So, that connection is covered up along with the goose neck.
I’d recommend repairs as needed for the safe operation of the electrical system by a qualified electrician and the service utility company (POCO)….or some such.
Nothing.
Safety measures for the siding installers.
It will be gone as soon as the Seller calls the POCO to remove the safety sleeves from the service drop.

Happens all the time in my area, especially for painters… but the POCO must be called 3 days in advance, and they usually leave in place for a standard 30 days… unless called to remove earlier.

I agree definitely a POCO issue.

The anchot point needs to be reattached.
It is not required that the riser goes through the roof when the minimum height above the ground can be met by attaching the drop to the structure below the roof level.

Is the minimum height above the ground supposed to be 12 feet? I guess that weatherhead is about 12 feet off of the ground. Good point.
Seems like something that would be worth measuring with my laser distance measure.

Now you tell me! lol
Sellers probably don’t even know it’s there or have forgotten about it.
House is vacant and most likely this is a flip job.
I will inform the buyer to let the poco remove when they take ownership.

Well…it’s an inspection restriction…

The minimum height depends on the surface it is over. Yards require less clearance than roadways.

You are wrong.

Correct. The point of attachment needs to be high enough so that the minimum ground clearance is achieved. For something like a single story ranch style house it is often necessary to run the mast through the roof to achieve the minimum above ground clearance.
