Yeah, but folks violate electrical, plumbing and other codes
every day without a problem. Until there's a problem...
If the OP lives in CA (and some other places) there almost
certainly will be a problem when he comes to sell the
property. Almost any home inspector will catch that one
with a cursory glance at the sink.
Having said all that... I'd probably take the risk if it
wasn't a local code requirement here.
