The best you are ever going to do for that is to move the electrical, then enclose the piping with a box that covers the stuff.

This can be made into a decorative shelf, that makes use of the botched job.

The plumber likely saw that going into the wall might cause a structure issue so maybe he needs a badge for good work.

The fix here is to just add a few 2x2s move the outlet out a little and drywall over it, floor to ceiling.

 

I doubt that was the plumbers fault. Im guessing that was some unavoidable situation. No plumber would just do that with out a good reason.

 

Wood... I understand your point... but I would if that's what the client wanted/ ordered /and payed for.

I'm not aware of code that requires DWV being behind drywall...... maybe ????

(PS: I'm not a plumber, but I've had to run DWV thru a cabinet.... although what the OP bought is not something I would do to my own home or one that I was remodeling.)

You bought the house and didn't see this??? It doesn't look very "hidden" to me.

 

... and this is why you hire an inspector.

I cannot see any reputable plumber doing that crappy a job. Looks more like amateur hour (or weekend).

 

I think the bigger question is, how long is that drain pipe and what did he do about venting.

 

Not sure of your question.

I would not call it a crappy plumber unless you knew the full story.

Just saying......

Maybe it was a dumb inspector or a dumb house buyer..... it's not always someone else's fault.

 

So do we want to fix it or what? Nothing is impossible.
First we want to make sure the plumbing is working properly.

 

i think this was a diy job. the primer is sloppy, the clamps are not the same, pipes sticking out. it doesnt matter why its like that right now - the main thing is to fix it and make it right.
first thing i would do is cut the drywall 2 feet from the floor. take a look behind the pipes and find out whats inside. then report back what you find. the only visible problem is the electrical wiring to plug , but thats easy to move. that is the least of your worries

 

I tend to agree with Radioman since you can also see the tile floor is an amature hour diy job
