Electrical subpanel location

My ground floor apartment has a subpanel with about half the circuits wired to it. The others (probably because  additional kitchen & a/c circuits were added later) are wired back into the main panel in the cellar. Is this OK from a code viewpoint? Ie, does there have to be a circuit panel *within* the apartment for *all* breakers? Incidentally, the apartment has easy access to the cellar via a stair, as the w/d are in the cellar. Thanks.

Perfectly legal.  There is no requirement that tenants have access to their breakers.
