Excellent point. Local inspectors have probably been on the job for
decades, and can tell the history best.

Finding the just NEC code changes will not necessarily tell you if
GFCI's
were 'supposed' to be installed at that time.
Many cities or local areas do not keep up with the newest codes and
can
lag
behind by several years.

On the other hand, if the case does involve a lawsuit, the inspectors
or city themselves can be implicated. Wouldn't expect much help there.

The good news is there are things like statute of limitations and what
'should' have been done in 1993 is likely well beyond any statute of
limitation for liability.

That may not be good news for the owner.
