Found this responding to a tenant complaint in building. Fire Prevention followed me, they wrote nine (9) violations. Interesting that a building that has done no electrical work...has yellow #12 NM

looks mighty familiar HotOne
but how do we know that the new RX was simply a service call to replace a bad wire by a bona fide sparky there?

~s~: Based on what I saw...the last 'bonafide sparky' there was the crew that wired the structure way back when!

As is often the case Hotone
that said, other than working clearance, and a missing panel cover, can you tell us what violations were found?

Doug: Just an FYI, I couldn't get close enough to the open panel to look for the date stamp. Yes, that's handy to have a 'date'.

point taken
i sign & date all my installs
i also collect old code books, due to the term existing being predicated on a compliant install at the time
