Questions

Yes, new and replacement 15 and 20 amp, 125 volt outlets in homes must be tamper-resistant under NEC 406.12, which New York City's code adopts. Spring-loaded shutters open only when both plug blades push in at once, so a key or hairpin in one slot does not reach the contacts. The rule dates to the 2008 NEC, with a few exceptions such as outlets more than 5 1/2 feet above the floor.
