In a multi-family building each tenant has their own panel. The common area is supplied by a "house panel". The landlord wants to install a back-up generator on the "house panel" and supply each tenant with a circuit out of this "house panel" that he can use for their furnace in the event of a power outage. I know 210.25 prohibits supplying the common area out of an individual tenant space but this would be kinda a reverse of that. Does code allow this? Assuming Article 702 compliance.
