Recently (5/11) a city inspector told me I needed to include AFCI breakers on all new circuits in a home I am rewiring here in Syracuse NY(per the '08 NEC.) . Last year, two different inspectors required them only in the bedrooms. Is there some rhyme or reason to when the 2008 code is adopted in NYS? I have found several threads on this and some say residential codes are still on the '02 or '05 NEC. Does residential lag? Is he going to make me replace my receptacles with tamper proof? Shouldnt I be able to find out which code we adopt and when? Thanks in advance..
