He also found that to operate the dishwasher, the tenant has to pull and extension cord, with the pin ground removed, from underneath of the cabinet to plug in the counter receptacle to operate it, he also found that the garbage disposal receptacle is pulled away from the wall; the exhaust hood disconnected and wiring in an unsafe conditions and because the licensed electrician is also a licensed plumber, he found the dishwasher drain improperly connected, temperature of the water heater below 120 degrees (legionaries), toilets fluid masters not meting the CL requirement and not back flow preventer on hose bib.
Electrician alarmed, run to the management to notify and the necessity to take immediately actions as the tenant also stated that she had some concern about kitchen light flickering and feeling some small current with the appliances.
So, management does not take any action because investor of the property doesn't want to spend more money to fix properly and this is what he hired a "handyman" for that remodel.
So, electrician is very concern about the safety of the tenants and wants to notify authorities, but he is holding. My opinion is to go immediately to the code enforcement authorities. CAN HE BE LIABLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THIS FAMILY? I have some problems in downloading other photos, I will do following this ...
