@ONFireChiefs It's wonderful that you are able to enforce this. I don't know Canadian codes; how is it a social services board was involved? Was this an #AssistedLiving facility?
I'm a new #CMP member for #NFPA 73, #Electrical #Inspection of Existing #Dwellings. I want to understand others' approaches as well.

National vacancy rate from metered electricity consumption was 4.3% in Q4 2021

Chatting with someone today at our weekly #Ukraine support vigil, I listened to a complaint about the inadequate wiring in their old apartment. I suggested sending in a proposal for #NFPA 73, the standard for #Electrical #Inspection of existing #Dwellings. He was interested, so I later sent him the information on how to offer #Public_Input to change consensus standards. I hope he doesn't look at the process and decide it sounds like too much work. #Agency, self- #empowerment does take effort.

The #National_Fire_Protection_Association gives the public--all of us--the chance to submit public inputs and comments to change their #consensus #standards. They're free to leaf through online, if you establish a no-cost account, though of course they encourage you to buy. September deadline for the 2026 National#Electrical#Code, #NFPA.org/70. June deadline for the standard on Electrical_Inspection of Existing #Dwellings: www.NFPA.org/73. If the access or Public Input process confuses you, ask.

Just want to say how much I love this series from @jstephenscomics

It’s over. I left that other place. And I don’t need to talk about it any more, really. I’m happier now. Let’s change the subject, if that’s cool? Here’s a detail from the latest issue of my #comic #dwellings @blackeyebooks

@icedquinn
It seems that people who just want to ensure decent #housing today are, at every opportunity (ie. opportunistically), out-competed by #rentseekers that pile multiple #dwellings on a block with no #restorative, private outdoor space.

Our #Australian govt and #legacyMedia have been active #perpetrators of this #sociopathy

It needs to stop. We thought covid would bring these issues into focus but they are doubling-down on #distraction as they #printMoney for themselves.
