You are obviously in an area that inforces this mandate. So, remove at your own risk. You may have to have one reinstalled (much more $$$) when you sale. And depending what maybe inside the wall of that area- if an "accident" were to happen (car into or through wall) and the house went up in flames, the insurance company may not pay!
