Anyway, upon us questioning (after providing our agent with info on NFPA10 & applicable definitions for who/what types of buildings this is applicable to per NFPA10 & Building and Safety Codes) this recommendation we were told the underwriter for Northfield insurance then said it is required for all “habitational” units (the underwriters terms).

Here is the information from the electrical inspection:Service The service was recently replaced with a new 3-meter pack.There was no sign of permitting, and the old undersized SE cable was not replaced, and there was not proper grounding and bonding.It is not clear if the 3-meter pack is PSEG approved.The ZINSCO sub-fed panel is now considered a safety hazard and needs to be replaced.There is not room for the new conduit to rise up the exterior wall to the point of attachment.The steps and newly laid cement must be torn up and replaced for the service to be replaced.There were several instances of unsafe electrical installations in the basement including a live wire that was laying at the foundation wall.Price Easily $5000, could go to $6500 not including cement and step repair2nd Floor Apt.
