I have a fire restoration project. Long story short I have a commercial building (one building) about 2000 square feet that is divided in two for two tenants. It was zoned for two, has a 2 hour fire rated wall between the two and has (2) single phase 200 amp services with the service disconnects outside. Each tenant has access to his service disconnect outside and access to his own panel inside. The two conduits from the same utility pole mounted transformer feed this building with two sets of underground service laterals. These two businesses have been there and operating for about 5 years, until the fire.
I just gutted the place, ran new wiring, mounted new disconnects and panels in the same places and just made everything "NEW". The county is saying we are in violation of having "Two Electrical Services" at one building.....What????
This was all existing, and I'm waiting to hear the actual code violations that they are stating. I'm quoting 230.2(B)(1) and 230.40 Exception#1 has the reasons for the original installation.
Don't understand, this is no different then strip malls, doctors offices, townhomes or any other "Multi-occupancy" building that shares a building shell and separated by rated fire walls and have their own utilities.
:blink:
Any thoughts would be appreciated....
