My cousin asks the following:
I am not sure what “current code” has to do with your situation. Why are you required to come up to current code?
I am familiar with ground fault circuits and that can be as simple as replacing the actual outlets in the kitchen and bathroom with $20/each GFI’s. You could actually replace the entire circuit breaker with a GFI and make the entire buss GFI. I disagree with the statement that your unit is underpowered. From looking at your subpanel, ( you have 5- 20 amp and 1- 15 amp breaker. That is more than most apartments have considering there is no electric oven, hot water heater, or dryer. That sub panel is probably an 60-80 amp panel. Pretty big.
Again, what does today’s code have to do with your unit?
You guys are speaking a language unfamiliar to me. And, my cousin is not familiar with NYC DOB regs, etc. But, does he make valid points in this case?
Thank-you.
