Beautiful....just beautiful. I think most first year apprentices could wire better than this.
There's really not much to say about this other than the obvious: this is complete garbage!
66, with inspectors like this, I can see why most of your jobs are an uphill battle.
What were you called in to do at this nightmare, by the way?

Just noticed something. In the 3rd pic down, you gotta love those tool shed hooks supporting all the romex! UL Listed for 1 shovel or 1 rake, or an entire bundle of cables. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/rolleyes.gif)

Chris, Why would anyone build a panel that uses 4 breakers as a main disconnect? We don't have those here, or I've never seen one before.

Even the guys who did that bank sign did not use duct tape. This "inspector" did. Sad.

Hey Virg:
Getting between an "inspector" and a lawyer??
I hapo the lawyer is better at his "trade" the the inspector!
Oh, maybe he's a plumbing, building, or Fire Inspector???
If he is in fact an "Electrical Inspector" then I can see why the stuff you post on ECN can happen!
Everything looking OK with you?????

I'm trying really hard but I can't find anything terribly wrong with the panel other than two homeline breakers in GE panel.. The rest is poor workmanship. If this is how he works with what you can see imagine what he does with what you can't. Virgil, is this a job you really want to get involved with?

No white phase tape to identify the neutral in the panel, and I can't see a neutral bus bonding screw either. It does look like 2 SqD homeline breakers in there, too.
Lotsa NM bundled together (presumably without derating). Missing staples everywhere. Generally sloppy workmanship.

If you look really carefully, there are Cutler Hammer BR's in the panel too.
But, that is the least of the problems at this place.
While we're ripping this place apart, does anyone that knows about plumbing have any opinions about the drain pipes?

Now that you mention it that plumbing clean out in the 6th picture is rather high. Can you imagine being the plumber running a snake down there at face level. Not very pleasant. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/frown.gif) Scott

NJwirenut,
It looks as if the neutral has a white stripe.
