It is against code to have a panel in the bathroom. And the workmanship on that panel just stinks. A flushmount panel should be flush so thats another code no no. Whatever "electrical contractor" did this needs their license revoked!
Filling it wont fix the fact that its in a bathroom...and NO a panel in a bathroom isnt "grandfathered" in even if there was one there before 1993 when it was legal.They replaced a previous panel. My daughter asked about the gap and they said they will fill it. She only has to stay here til June.
Crap, that means they didnt pull a permit? They are doing maybe 100 apartments. Suppose I should contact her local building/planning office?Filling it wont fix the fact that its in a bathroom...and NO a panel in a bathroom isnt "grandfathered" in even if there was one there before 1993 when it was legal.
Glad shes only there til June. If the workmanship outside the panel is that bad, whats it like on the inside where it really counts?
No any inspector worth his salt will remove the cover and look inside.Is it possible they left it out for inspection?
The reason for no overcurrent devices in a bathroom is moisture...wet floors, water being splashed etc. Not safe for people and very hard on the equipment. Aluminum bussed panels and moisture dont work well. The aluminum corrodes and the breakers get loose where they clip onto the buss. Bad connections=heat=not good.Really sucks! all of these apartments have college kids. So some moron has put approx. 300 of our children at risk.
