I have a remodel job where the demo contractor is removing about 40% of the ceiling grid in the building. We informed the General Contractor that I am not responsible for existing code violations that are discovered above the ceiling. The ceiling is mostly removed now and WHOA!!!, it is bad, really bad. There is not even one J-box that is fasted to anything, they are all 4" squares and just hanging on the end of the EMT which is ran at every angle in the world like spaghetti. When the EMT just so happed to get close to a bar joist, they used scrap wire to hang it.
My question is....was their ever a time(near the 1970 to 1980 region) that it was OK per code to install a 4" square box right on the end of EMT without any other support?
