Hello Forum:
I've searched through the myriad threads on this forum but have not found an answer to a particular issue I have. I know that the FHA (Fair Housing Act) applies to almost all units in newer condominium buildings (except for those not reachable with an elevator). However, would they apply in the remodel of a single, private unit versus the initial new construction?
The particular issue I?m having is a long section of glass floor to ceiling windows (this is in a high rise). We will be placing floor boxes in this area to comply with 210.52. The FHA design manual allows floor boxes but requires an additional, accessible receptacle in the same space or area (at 15? to 48? AFF).
There is no description of what constitutes the ?same space or area,? but in this case we would end up with walls where the nearest accessible receptacles would be at least 40? away.
Has anyone come across a similar situation or have a better idea on how to apply this vaguely worded guideline?
Thanks.
