I also looked up the code:8-904.2.2 Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protectedreceptacles shall be installed where replacements are madeat receptacle outlets that are required to be so protected bythe regular code in effect at the time of replacement.I do think its a good idea to get you buildings up to code in order to minimize risks of liability down the road.On similar note, we have some old apartment complexes that have ungrounded electrical outlets (missing 3rd hole) that are operating.

How do you minimize these risks?
