Coops and Wiring

No, code doesn't require existing properties to upgrade, unless a major remodel is done to a room / apartment.

Dammit! Thanks alanhart. I love my coop but they are a huge PITA about this issue. I guess I will have to shell out the $6K myself.

the wiring inside your apartment is your responsibility, not the coops.

I used and was happy with http://www.leaderelectric.com/

"They" == you. If "they" -- the co-op -- pays for yours, then the co-op has to pay for everybody's, which means all the shareholders pay their share of the whole whack. Better for each shareholder to pay for their own.

That way you can be more or less elaborate in your electrical work, and pay accordingly.

Ditto.
