I am doing a basement finish on a 1930s house. Service panel was been changed out to 150A 1 year ago. Found numerous violations. No main Grounding Electrode conductor run to main water pipe. #2 Cu feeding line side of meter. 2/0 Al from load side of meter to 150a MB load center .can not verify if there is a ground rod. I can see #6 Cu coming out of bottom of panel. If there is a ground rod, it is buried under concrete patio. 2" offset nipple from meter to panel rand into middle of Panel and did not use factory KOS.
I have heard there is a code / standard that says when you enter a 3r enclosure above the Buss line you have to use a Meyer?s hub / seal the penetrations. Where would I find this code?
Talking with HO found out previous Electrician did not pull permit and possibility he was not licensed. Electrician told HO permit was not required.
Electrician was moonlighting / doing side work around the neighborhood and was taking work away form company he worked for, as this is how the neighbor hired him to do extra work from when he had completed another job for neighbor with company he worked for. HO has called this person twice to have him come back and fix problems. I told HO that if he does hear back from previous electrician to make sure he know he needs a permit and that we have contacted local inspector about problems
I told the HO to call company the Electrician works for and talk to his Boss. This person has been doing lots of side work around the neighborhood this is the HO got Electricians name from.
I am thinking about giving the guys name to the Local inspector.
I called in for service inspection to have the Inspector note the Violations for the record so I am not liable for the violations
