Here's an installation that was found behind a "locked door" in an apartment house!

The Building Manager said: "Gee, I didn't know that mess was there?"

When unable to gain entry, I always advise that the door was locked so an inspection could not be performed!

It always that electrical safety and un-workmen like scenarios arise in a lot of commercial buildings. I've seen it in commercial heating system wiring, countless times. Circulator pump wiring exposed (110 and 220 volt), romex wiring on commercial boilers, opened j-box's, unlabled dead fronts, even over-loaded wiring troughs.
Just plain sloppy work!

Joe: I realize that this isn’t a straight NEC forum, but with the changing of the language in 110.12 (which I like), it sure makes it hard to find where this is a violation (110.27), don’t you think? We talked about this at an IAEI meeting a while back and there many people who couldn’t find where this was addressed.

Sit tight the new code will have something.


I don't want to get into the strange way in which some people read the rules because of a mistake!

Was there something that you wanted to say about this picture?

I think that the first line of 110.27(A) is very clear. First word 'except'.
