During open, accessible new-construction rough-in, NM cable is draped loosely through a ceiling cavity with no required securing or support. No wiring-method exception applies. What should be corrected before drywall?
Correct Answer
A) Cable support.
Secure and support the NM cable using the applicable wiring-method requirements before concealment. The open rough-in described is not an inaccessible finished cavity where an applicable fishing exception could control. Burbank’s 2025 plan-check list identifies NM support under CEC 334.30.
