As you guys are probably aware NYC has adopted the NEC as of 7/1/03 w/ 200 pages of amendments. I've studied and practiced the original NYC Electrical Code for over 23 years. I am grateful that Mike Holt has this forum to help adapt easily throughout the transition. I would love to interact with anyone adapting as well. In the meantime all you guys keep up the good work!!!

The 2002 NEC, together with these local amendments, are to be known as the "electrical code technical standards" and will apply to work performed on and after January 1, 2004, as provided therein.
Local Amendments are found http://www.nyc.gov/html/dob/pdf/sec4a_ll_81_2003.pdf

So now you have to adapt to the 2002 NEC too :)

I already have the info in my favorites. Everytime I think I have have something down pat, I turn to the ammendments and get a surprise!
What's your location?
 
Re: NYC Contractor

Things get pretty wacky around here too when code changes come around. Back in March of 2002, Florida adopted a new "unified building code" that had requirements in which new homes were expected to go up in cost and in effect sale price by over $2,500.

The day before the actual formal adoption, there was a line a mile long outside of the building department with builders trying to get permitting in before the new changes. It was a mess. :roll:

I can relate. I put in 35 applications on the last day of the old code.

Even the E/inspectors are learning as they go. Instead of an inspection we have our own 30 minute forum.
 
Re: NYC Contractor

I am in the process of putting together a very comprehensive seminar for NYC with the 223 amendments. The seminar will cover chapters 1-4 during a two day seminar. I may do this with another well known NYC personality.

Another tidbit for the code struck NY contractors. In Jan of 2005 they are going to stay current with the NEC code cycle and you will need to deal with the 2005 NEC :D .
