no j-box for connection, and no connector on the wire
No Back Box, No cover and improper grounding at ground screw
there is no box to support fixture
I do not see any box. Probably there is a romex to knob & tube wire junction somewhere behind that.
Well, I know that they want to make sure there are no gaps around the perimiter of the ceiling box outer shell, but that's a little overkill, not even seeing the box - oris there even a box underneath it?
or maybe one of those overzealous drywallers got a little over excited about that popcorn spary finish :)
no box, no connector.... guess someone thought they were optional. But they did at least connect the ground to the metal bracket.
the code requires a device box to carry the weight of the fixture.According to Art.300.15 a box is required at each splice point,outlet ,switch or termination point.
somebody forgot the junction box...even a "pancake" box!
314.27 (A) (2) At every outlet used exclusively for lighting , the box shall be designed or installed so that a luminaire or lampholder may be attached.
Thanks for all of your replies!
