Inspected condo built in 1994 today. The electrical panel didn’t have a main service disconnect inside nor outside of this particular building (2 condos together). The main for this condo was located up the hill approx. 500ft away. I have inspected lots of condos over the years and this one is the first not to have a main service disconnect on the building. The condo beside this one, also didn’t have a main inside. Any thoughts
The service disconnect is up on the hill. The separate structure, the condo requires a disconnecting means where the feeder conductors enter the building.
I don’t see a problem other than inconvenience, which, for me, is a problem…lol
As an extreme example, we have 40-story condo towers here. The service disconnects are in the basement or in a secured area in the underground garage. At, say, 15 feet per floor, if you live in the penthouse on the 40th floor, your service disconnect is about 600 feet away.
