If your family (contracting) business is already a corporation or an LLC, you can add family members to continue the business in the event the qualifier becomes absent or deceased. After the added family member(s) has been on the license for at least five years and been actively engaged in the license classification, they may apply to become the qualifier without taking the (licensing) exam.

That is a very bad policy, stupid, and not fair ... BUT I would agree they should be alotted a grace period to get a qualifier. But not to skip the exam all together.
 
If you're worried I'm sure your state will have more stuff come up that needs notice. I'm visiting San Francisco right now and this is right outside my window at the hotel. I like the conduit run being done wrong in the most difficult way possible.

My guess straight romex because I see what looks like an 8-2 poking out of one of the liquid tights that's slipped back. If it's actually siamese cable then idk if I'm as upset by this but still it's lame to not make the conduit serviceable. It goes to the roof so I think it might be solar but maybe not.

I hope they catch the guy who stole their conduit bender.

What's wrong with it? I see no obvious code violations. It's a little ugly but sometimes you have to live with what you are given.
 
I noticed the condulet cover should be accessible, in the last pic. Had they turned it the correct direction, it would be. Not mentioning the first pic...ha

Covered conduit body in unaccessable and you can't just caulk liquid tight to pvc. The short section is the only one that has a compliant connection from pvc to liquid tight but it isn't strapped correctly and is instead secured to a section of in use for electrical wire emt which is a violation. Also I doubt those are type s21 zip ties but California has been behind a while on code cycles so that peticular change may have not been implemented yet.

I will grant you that there are some trivial violations but I don't see how the conduit body is unaccessible. It looks to me like you could get the cover off with an offset screwdriver. Maybe not easily but I think it's accessible.

Reminds me of a guy in my class. He somehow managed to put up a whole conduit system with the conulet covers facing the wall. After the teacher pointed out what he did, he commented that it was rather hard pulling the wires.

What's funny is every conduit body is used in a way that is hard. They have all the right ones to make it work if they had put them in the correct place.
