Hi all,
I have a property I am inspecting and they are doing a basement remodel. The basement is an apartment and has a kitchen, laundry room, it's own meter, etc. The customer is not modifying or extending any circuits. He is adding some however. My take on this is that other that properly supporting the NM in the now exposed portions of the basement, since he will not be modifying or extending the circuits more than six feet, he can keep it the way it is and the added circuits will need to comply with the NEC. Is this the correct call in this circumstance? Or is he obligated to bring all of the exposed work to the standard of the NEC? Thank you.
