Small apartment buildings and condos

Tips before you mount

• Historic district rules: exterior changes in the city's historic districts are reviewed, so keep wiring and fixtures on the interior side.
• Older plaster: pre-drill slowly without hammer mode and expect patching; use toggles where studs do not line up.
• Block walls: use 1/4 inch concrete screws or 3/8 inch sleeve anchors in solid face shells.
• Salt air and humidity: near the Intracoastal, use stainless hardware on outdoor TVs.
• Pre-war wiring: older cottages may have older electrical systems, so have an electrician inspect before adding new in-wall circuits.
• Hidden power: NEC 400.12 forbids concealing a standard cord, so use an in-wall rated kit and CL2 or CL3 cable.
