The house would have had to pass code which I'm sure it does. You're dealing with poor craftsmanship. Classic Toronto builder cutting corners.
Doesn't code require a GFCI plug wherever water is a risk?

Assuming that is the cord from the washer; what you have there is correct.

Dishwasher. The piping is for the kitchen sink.

So right now we are debating giving the kitchen a coating of red-orange paint to distract people from the slightly crooked cabinets :rofl:

Terracotta does look great in a kitchen.

Perhaps the floor is not flat and the cabinets are in fact plumb to the floor? ;D

Dishwasher. The piping is for the kitchen sink.

Regardless, those water use appliances are not ground fault protected. So remove that from your list.  :)   Don't understand the dishwasher plug.  Normally they are 20 amp hard wired.  Why is the that cord lying on a water supply?  :-X

I believe the current code states that a GFI is needed if the electrical outlet is closer than 1M to a water tap.

1m to "open" sources of water like sinks, tubs, showers, etc.  Not dishwashers.

Our Miele built in dishwasher had a plug on it

Does not serve the countertop.  It just changed in the States so no doubt they will soon make GFI mandatory for dishwashers here, plug in or hardwired.   Next will be ceiling fans.  :P

Our dishwasher is hardwired, but our house was built in 1971- I think new houses have standard plugs.  Our Bosch dishwasher came with a standard cord but we hardwired it instead of installing a plug in the cabinet.

Things have started to get fixed. Step by step. Even a one of the more frivolous things got addressed today.... I am becoming a big more optimistic.
