One guy describing the state of the electrical services stated that its been in violation of the NEC since 1952.

Thinking about this some more, I wonder exactly what was meant. Any wiring installed prior to 1952 would be "grandfathered," and not required to be brought up to current code.

I wonder if the Pentagon has any sort of exemption or whether technically it should comply with whatever local codes are in force in that part of Virginia. Not that I'd relish the thought of being the inspector who tries to take on the Pentagon...... [Linked Image]


Simon/Alan,

A little closer to home, did you know that buildings owned by the Metropolitan Police are exempt from complying with the Building Regulations?
