My friend just signed a lease for the first floor of a very old building. He had me over to take a look at some things that needed to be repaired and what-not.
I was surprised to see a very old system in the basement. The two electric meters for each unit are in the basement and each one runs off of 1 20 amp fuse.
Has anyone seen this in an older building? Is there a code violation here? I told him that it was not safe or adequate and that we should try to get him out of his lease. The landlord confirmed that there is no additional fuse box anywhere and claims that nobody has had a problem with the setup.
Thanks in advance!
