Magnettica, i'm curious. Do both tenants have access to the panels? In VA, if the panels were located in the downstairs apartments, you would have to give the downstairs tenant 24 hours notice to enter. This, odviously wouldn't fly here. Thus, not being readily accessible to both tenants. How is the neighborhood zoned? mutifamily?

This was a basement, a common area with a laundry room. It passed inspection 2 weeks ago.

A 100 amp riser could feed a total of (6) 100 amp MB panels if you wanted to.
Is it a good design? No...

as long as TOTAL load doesn't exceed 100amp,

Everything looks great, no offence, but I don't like the idea of threading a PVC TA into an aluminum meter hub. It's against code here...we have to use a PVC meter hub OR a PVC FA with a steel close nipple. I've seen some services where the PVC has expanded/contracted and broken the TA off the meter base.

It's never been a problem here. I wonder what the reasoning is behind that code rule?

Probably because it gets so damn cold here...but the rule makes total sense to me. I have seen a lot of TA's snapped off when threaded into metal enclosures. It also has to do with the fact that metal conduit threads are tapered whereas PVC threads are not.

That's fine, but isn't necessary (T310.15(B)(6)). No electric heat, no central air, this house will likely never even reach anywhere near 200 amps.
