Tracking down some faults and found this buried under the drywall.

How can I bring this forward so the junction box is accessible?
Do I just get enough single gang extension rings to bring it out far enough to sit flush with the drywall?
Or do I add an access panel on the drywall?
I'm in Chicago. The code here requires conduit. Which is funny that they would try and follow that but not how it connect it to the junction boxes.
This is (well was) a finished basement. I'm pretty that box inside the wall is in a concrete wall. When they finished the basement, my only guess is they didn't want to deal with that wall and just added a wooden framed one against it to hang the sheet rock and make pretty. The house is from the 1950s, not a low income area, just old. It all looks like someone who knows enough to be dangerous. When I moved in, I replaced just about every outlet and added GFCI since it didn't have any. That alone saved me from the house burning down while I was on vacation a few months later.
