Recently I was hired by an apartment owner to install renovation packages in Washington state. This included lighting ,outlets,switches, GFCI/AFCI Breakers ,etc.I was always under the impression that if you work for an owner and not a third-party management that you could install this without needing a license. So off we go I get permits for two units and pass inspection. Then the apartment manager informs me that ownership is not sure if it is legal if I do the work. So I was then forced to stop doing the renovations. I have since been laid off from this company because they have apparently found the reason that I could not perform the work. I'm a license 07 B electrician and electrical administrator in Washington. This is the license that is specifically designated for the apartment industry.
So any information that anybody has would be appreciated as I am fairly certain that as an owner operator of an apartment complex you can install your own electrical without a license
I also know that if you work for a third-party managed apartment complex that you do need your 07B license.
Help and Thanks!
