You got more guts than I; I wouldn't even touch that FPE panelboard. I'd be too worried that if I took off the cover, all the breakers would come out with it....

Is that AC/MC feeding those spot lights in the first picture...?

As an aside, the tenant may not be an electrician, and it may not even be their responsibility to make any repairs at all, but it sure wouldn't be hard to buy and mount some 50¢ cover-plates to help safe-guard her kid.

Big John...
I was verrrrrrry careful taking that dead front off... The tenant told me that another tenant had been "screwing around" in there, which is the only reason I wanted to take a peek...

I wish I had a zoom on my digicam.. Thats romex feeding the spot lights...

Aside from the missing faceplates, the outlet below the mirror is the one her daughter got "lit up" off of.. she told be it's just been hanging like that since she moved in! & the landlord has done nothing about it.. She also unplugged her daughter hairdryer from it & the whole thing came out of the box! Even worse, it's "push & pray" connected! I hope this landlord gets everything coming to him for leaving things like this!!!
I don't know if its different anyplace else, but here, when you rent, the landlord is responsible for all repairs.. If a tenant breaks something, he can back-charge them for the costs...

Update...
This place has been red-tagged.. (suprise, yeah I know! ) The landlord is now trying to sue the tenant that brought all this up for leaving the place during a lease.. This guy is a moron! If its red tagged, No one can live there! LMAO!
