Farmer's Market tarps gone

[My 2 cents]

Again, illegally tapping in is owner/law enforcement issue, not HFD or Building Dept. even if it's actually "tapped in" (or wired in) as opposed to plugged in.

I have never seen on any appliance instructions "this appliance must be plugged into a power strip" or anything close. Same with extension cords. I've also never had the extension cord police come down on me for using an extension cord or any appliance without a power strip.

Current code says all outdoor outlets need to be GFI. Old building, probably grandfathered, but GFI outlets are like 10 bucks. GFI would be superior to power strips.

These are easy fixes, so we are obviously missing something. So, back to my original statement: It sure would be nice to what the exact violation was.
