Natural gas for range

Recently, I had my kitchen renovated and opted to go with an induction range/electric oven unit. In the wall behind the range, is an old gas hook up that has been capped off. The new drywall now covers access, so for future homeowners, they might not know it is there. My question is, is it worth putting a blank wall plate over where the access would be? What code should I follow in doing so? I typically do my best to "future proof" everything that I do. I had asked the contractor to put a wall plate there, he said that he would, that, a long with other things, was forgotten. I'd rather not deal with that company anymore and do it myself. Thanks for your input! submitted by /u/beerconosewer [link] [comments]
