Just wondering in Massachusetts do you need GFCI protection in a detached residential building that was built new around 2008 and is listed as “dry storage” no is plumbing installed, the structure is @ ground level & built from sticks
 
If you are standing on a concrete floor at grade level I would say yes. I guess we need to know what the electrical will be used for. Lighting? Some general use receptacles? Any specific equipment?

Ty for responding I totally appreciate the input, after further research on my end I agree on GFCI protection on a grade level structure, I was grey on the dry storage aspect no water in the building …there’s general lighting that I’m not worried about GFCI protection, there is a bunch of counter height general 20a receptacles installed, no specific equipment, I wired this in like say 2007 so I was thinking of the “pre” GFCI 2008 code requirements
 
Rough inspection only, it was my wife’s uncles project on family land he took for ever to finish & starting hanging lights on his own so I was pissed @ him @ the time working under my ticket…. Longgg story lol, ty for your input, my In-laws now own the property & are building a new house on the property so this detached dry storage garage now came back into play, not a big deal but to GFI the place would be thousands in materials these days 🙄
 
If it has not had a final inspection will it get inspected under current code, or has the permit most likely been lost some time since 2007?
Is there any chance anyone, like kids, could be barefoot in there?
