I pulled a permit back in 2005. The AHJ was using the 1999 code cycle then and is now in the 2002. (They plan to skip the '05 and jump right to the '08 pretty soon)
The permit was for a remodel of an old farm house. The guy who bought it did a demo down to the studs and tore off the roof, and added a complete second floor. Makes the place about 3000 ft/2 and total electric. We relocated the service and upgraded it to two 200 amp panels. The old service was still on and was used for temp power, so we landed all the conductors on their respective breakers. We passed the rough and new service inspection in November of 2005.
A few weeks ago, the HO called me and said that he had had financial troubles, but that the project was sheet rocked and painted, and was hoping that we could final the job. Except that the old service was still being used as temporary. I called the same inspector, and he re-released the cut over with poco, with out even coming out again.
Finished everything up last week and called for final. Same inspector came out and failed the following with these comments that I pulled today off their web site:
The part about the 30 amp for #10 and 40 amp for #8 is in regards to the to the three A/C units, as is the proper breaker part. I checked them myself, and 240.4 (D) & (G) are worded pretty much the same in the '99. Also, Arc faults were not in the '99so I don't get it.
If a permit is pulled and inspected under one cycle, and finaled under another cycle, which code cycle is enforced?
