Does anyone know about State Codes for circuit breaker boxes electrical systems for Section 8 approved housing

Question

JKP/Southeast MN/approved by inspector "Kristine" probably from Wabasha/Winona MN office. Inspection sticker yellow in color last inspection date 1997. Is this legal do you think? How could that pass inspection?? Plus air conditioner is not working properly....I have had it on high cool for last 36 hours with all doors closed except master bedroom door, and temperature is at 74 degrees at 12:22am. Checked air flow, and air is only flowing out of three quarters of the vents and I personally cleaned the filters myself before installing them again, personally. Which I know per lease all maintenance is to be conducted by designated person (who happens to be related and a REALLY nice guy) but when reported ac unit in 106 leaking all over floor to mgr, told "oh don't worry about that, just stick a pail or something under the drip",started raining HARD, leak worse, called WRC and told her I discovered what the problem was, filter was almost inch thick with dust,I cleaned,reinstalled106OK now

Answer 1

The codes are the same for section 8 as for anyone. A/c systems need to be balanced (designed right in the first place) and clean(filters). Maintenance will not fix a poor design. Leaks of course do not indicate a poor design but inadequate maintenance.

Too many conflicting problems here to diagnose without adequate info.

By the way, most rentals do not require maintenance within the units, such as filter cleaning, to be part of staff work. The renter needs to clean the filter once a year. (Someone does anyway.)

It is not surprising that the filter is clogged. My ex and I made a lot of money (for us anyway $100 per hour) going to fix gas furnaces for rich people who didn't know they ahd to clean their filters once a year!

It was great!  They thought we were geniuses for nothing. Of course we made a big show after cleaning the filter about adjusting this and that ad giving them a little lesson how to program their HVAC controllers....

OK end of story. The inspector only inspected the system design....maintenance is up to you or the property manager

EDIT: After I posted I noticed that you thought there was an ELECTRICAL problem??? Why? You cleaned the filter and it worked!!!
