Code violations pertains to wiring that is not to code as per the NEC and any additional requirements by local jurisdictions.
Please read the following:
The National Electrical Code “NEC” is the national standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. States and municipalities typically adopt it in an effort to standardize safe electrical practices. Usually all municipalities follow the NEC as minimal requirements. However many States and municipalities can adopt more stringent requirements and codes. These codes evolve over time as understanding and experience grow and technology develops to keep property and human lives even safer. The NEC is part of the National Fire Codes series published by the National Fire Protection Association “NFPA”.
Code violations usually are brought up during a home inspection. A home inspector will notice violations and notify the buyer as to the violations. The buyer will many times want the opinion of an electrical expert. Sometimes buyers wait until they have purchased the house to make corrections to code violations. Often a prospective buyer asks the seller to correct the code violations prior to closing of escrow.
We work with homebuyers prior to the listing of their home to correct code violations or during escrow to make any corrections to code violations found and requested to be corrected. We also work with the new buyer after they have closed escrow to correct code violations.
With over 40 years electrical experience we know how to best work with both the home seller or the homebuyer.
