GFCI requirents for residential kitchens and bathrooms

[litebx]

What are the requirements for the amount and distance of GFCI receptacles on a kitchen counter top? Distance from sink and one another. Are 2 GFCI receptacles installed in a bathroom medicine cabinet considered the proper requirement? How many per circuit? This is in NYC

GFCI's are required in the area up to 6' from the edge of any sink.
As to spacing look at 210.52(C)
Bathrooms 210.52(D)

Thank you, anything on required amounts on a kitchen counter top?

Number of receps depends on the total linear feet of c'top.

 

[GoldDigger]

Number of receps depends on the total linear feet of c'top.

But not all of them will have to be GFCI.

Yes.

Basically can't ever be more than two feet from a receptacle along the counter top, here is where you look for all the details.
