What code is NYC using? I hear they have hundreds of pages of amendments. Probably need someone from the city to answer that.
BTW, I live on ridge blvd and 77th st. in Brooklyn for many years--- near the Verrazano bridge.

Take a look at art. 680 and check your local amendments Pools are really easy as long as you don't forget to bond something.

Huh, art. 680 is asked about in forums about as much as grounding. The bonding issue is always in a state of flux and is difficult for many to understand. I have had more disagreements about pools then almost any other thing esp. when you bring hot tubs etc into the picture.

Well maybe for other's, but I find them rather easy and enjoy wiring them. To me art. 680 is rather clear, and I've never had any issues, maybe I'm over killing the jobs I've installed,but I've made money on all of them so far. "Knocking on wood"

Went to college to study psychology in Poughkeepsie, NY and never went back. I loved living outside the city in the country. We rented a house that was on 50 acres and bordered a wildlife sanctuary. We had hundreds of acres to ourselves. Never wanted to live in a city again. My entire immediate family have also moved out over the years. Boston, Houston, Raleigh, Boulder, Colorado and Chapel Hill-- we are all over the place.

According to an ear mark in the new energy bill passed by congress.
You will need to use the California building code.

I kept separating the Lawn Guy from the Land Sparky. I figured he did lawns but wasn't sure about the Land Sparky. I am getting too old- brain is fried.
