erojohn, Frank D'Angelo, 352-250-7818 may be able to comment on your question about a code violation as he is a very good (OK great!) home inspector. I have bumped into 3 or 4 people that have had problems with rain water and/or irrigation water getting into outdoor outlets, this usually trips the GFCI. This was usually due to a failure of the gasket, NO gasket, or the gasket not properly installed. A new outlet cover and gasket usually solves the problem.
