OK I got an update for you guys.
I called the number I was given for the DoB and they told me that i needed to call 311 and file a complaint. I did so, and they marked it as urgent because of the possible fire hazard on the new breaker - PS My dad used to be an electrician and he said that they had a 14 awg wire for the new 20 amp breaker just as i suspected.
The inspector was out in less than a week (which was yesterday) He said that the whole place has negative polarize output and that it is bad for my computers - is this still bad if they are going through a UPS? - I also had a hard drive recently go haywire on me, could it be from the power?
Anyway, The whole place is underwired - not grandfathered in and my room that has no outlets is required to have one on each wall.
When the inspector went into the basement to check the breakers he fell in a hole and got pissed and said, hes now pissed and is writing my landlord every violation he deserves! haha.
Anyway, we are supose to call his supervisor and explain that we have ferrets and if the power goes out on a hot day they can die to push getting a court date soon. I wrote my landlord a letter though, explaining that i went to the city because I already tried working it out with him and he insulted my intelligence by putting that 20 amp breaker in there. The city is eventually going to make him fix the wiring now because of the violations so I asked him nicely if he could just come through and actually *Fix* the problem of his own accord.
