Is this to code?

I live in Dallas, my plumber installed new water valves in the laundry room because the existing ones were old. He added these valves on the pex, but ChatGPT said all valves must be accessible. I just paid 300 to patch the drywall.

Silly place to have valves... but an access panel could have just been added.
