Jesus what a terrible attitude. I like the MA rules. They are just putting into law what should make sense already. I go in to add a receptacle and you tell me you're not going to pass it unless I bring the entire house to code?? That would probably be the last permit I pull. It isn't right but with unreasonable judgements like that you will force people to work around the permit...
Also a new rule does not automatically make a pre-existing condition a hazard because it is now a violation. There are obviously violations that would not be considered hazards.
Look at the OP! Did he mention a simple receptacle outlet change? No! They opened up a big problem and will be cited .....who cares who corrects it. read my previous post. But some one will correct it. Unfair or not. Building owner will pay...as I said read my other post.
