What if he used plugs and recepticles on those
lights? Instead of hard wiring it? Would that make it more acceptable or is it still bad as it would be obviously not easily taken away?

Hi, Ryan!
Yes it's terrible, and I'm with you all the way.
My ? is:
If they were to leave these in place for 89 days, then unplug them, rehang them,
and plug them back in in 15 minutes, what would you think?

Ryan:
I have one of the MG chain rest. in my area. I'll have to stop in & see what they have for lighting......
It's been around for a while, I'll see if I can get any info.

People around here think that a $250-$500 fine is steep....go get'm.

Is that a Romex clamp holding the cord?
Temporary lighting requires a permit, every time it is installed. I don't think Ryan will issue a temporary lighting permit for this place!

I have numerous customers who have moved into private residences here with only pigtails for lighting...

one actually hung xmas lights around his indoor pool , and his kids hang thier towels off of it...

as we have NO occupancy permits here (save for some isolated pockets via municipality), i can only advise against this practice...
