This puzzled me and I looked it up, and yes, sinks without overflow meet code [1] (but not tubs). So your situation was apparently legal. But the sibling comment to this one, where a sink had an overflow, but it was not connected, did not meet code [also 1]. Go figure. There must be some reasoning there, but I'm confused as to what it is. https://forms.iapmo.org/email_marketing/codespotlight/2018/mar8.htm https://forms.iapmo.org/email_marketing/codespotlight/2018/m...

Code sometimes makes allowances for situations which aren't ideal, as long as they aren't deceptive or creating a false sense of security. So if you have old two-prong outlets in your house from back when, those are allowed. If you replace them with a three-pronged outlet which is ungrounded, that breaks code. If the three-pronged outlet is a GFCI outlet labeled with NO ELECTRICAL GROUND, that is allowed.
