I was thinking about that very thing. The impetus for this is that the unit above me is being sold. I was chatting with the prospective buyer while their inspector was doing his thing. I gave the inspector and the buyer as much info as I could based on 17 years of living here. I was aware of Stab-Lok’s bad rep before, but the inspector made it sound like we had to have them replaced, by law.

Anyway, the buyer is having an electrician come this week to look at his panel, and I thought I would discuss a “group rate”.

Thanks for the response.

Our condo association specifies that any wiring or electrical equipment is our responsibility once it enters our unit. We’re not a “paint inwards” as much as an “exterior wall inwards” community. So, Ill be on the hook for a hefty sum, I know.

Is there a requirement to replace Stab-Lok panels before selling a house or condo? Or is it just something most inspectors recommend?

I’m a Maryland resident who is considering selling his condo. I’ll probably have the Stab-Lok replaced regardless, but I’m curious about my options. I’ve also read online that there are modern, safe retrofits that fit in the existing box. I’d really like to avoid tearing out a section of wall!
