I like to refer to the person that does work like this 'joe candyman'. Even after investigating the damage done by vandals, apparently there some issues before they did their damage. We found lots of romex strung a lot of places, conduit bent without a bender to make a ninety to other outlets, and some of the romex not connected properly and the more scary part is finding some 'damaged bare' copper wire that appears to have been done by the installer.. Don't have my code book handy, but i do recall that in most non dwelling places romex could not be used in commercial except very few exceptions for type IV or construction etc..,
What code article was it about Non metallic sheath cable romex not being used in commercial buildings? Also, other concerns are assuming the responsibility of replacing sub-panel etc.. I recommended to the boss that because of some of the other stuff found that even the vandals didn't do he should either get a bid for the entire wring, or pass on it entirely because of the liability.
They can install new sub-panels and try to splice all the wires in the old service as well, (without replacing the service panel even though all wires cut, breakers falling out and the can is bent etc.. maybe the buss bar is ok, not sure yet) but it appears to go over 50% of some of the issues the handy man work that was done is just too much liability in my opinion. Where you do you all draw the line on just 'repairing' the visual damage vs 'let us rewire' most of this or we are not doing it.
