Description

This is a violation of NEC code for securing a power line to a roof. There is no support for the 240 single phase Hot, Hot, and neutral. So it is possible that a short could occur with a good gust of wind and the house could burn down with a significant spark. Since this is on the line side there is no thermal fuse to stop the imminent damage. I suggest that city inspector come out to investigate this hazard, site the apartment building management with a code violation. Beside the fact this device is not mounted to the pole, if the strong wind came by it could be swinging all over the place and pull the utility wire right out of its place. That hazard alone could inflict bodily damage of electrocution. This is also a life safety hazard for anyone within the area. I also think the apartment dweller must be experiencing more than their share of transit surges from Duke, with all that wire swinging is most definitely unhealthy for the electronics within the building.
