    No washer/dryers in the units (probably because they do have such a huge energy draw) and the stove/oven is gas. So those aren't issues. There's a circuit breaker and the kitchens and bathrooms were done over within the last ten years. The co-op rules say that you must use a licensed electrician for renovations, so I'm assuming that those at least were done correctly. My guess is the new rule was applied only to new owners because the existing owners would have put up a huge fuss. Ah well, let's see if the co-op board can be a little more descriptive in what they want...

    Kurt - I think you've hit the nail on the head. The co-op board has asked for it, but they don't know what they are asking for. Unfortunately, without any guidance, the electrician I called said that means he has to take off every wall plate and fixture to properly inspect. I was hoping I could get away with something a little less disruptive and time consuming (i.e. expensive). That said, what John said about checking wiring on a somewhat regular basis is probably warranted. Especially since the building is 1920s era, not 1960s (your crystal ball was off).

    The co-op that I just moved into has a rule that all new owners "must have electrical connections within the unit checked for safety by a licensed electrician." I've asked the co-op for more guidance on exactly what they need - but in the meanwhile, I was wondering what the licensed electricians in this forum think this means I have to have done. Thanks so much for your help
