Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & distributionCurrentLast permitted 2000 (26 years ago). City inspection record: last recorded inspection 2000-08-02; no approved final is shown. Worth reading the permit itself: it names the service but does not read as an increase in capacity, so this may have been a like-for-like replacement rather than an upgrade. Separately from replacement: NFPA 70E expects the arc-flash study to be reviewed at least every five years, or after any change to the service. T00EL01636 — NEW SERVICE
• Heating, cooling & mechanicalNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2025 fire construction permit is on file (and 2 more like it) — work like this is often folded into a larger permit without being named, so open that record and check its scope before concluding anything. Packaged rooftop units work harder in Tucson than almost anywhere, so 12 to 15 years is a realistic service life rather than the 15 to 20 the industry quotes. Worth confirming from the equipment nameplate rather than the record. Replacing a rooftop unit is also an electrical question: the new unit's minimum circuit ampacity and its disconnect often differ from the old one.
• Fire alarm & life safetyCurrentLast permitted 2024 (2 years ago). Panels and devices age out on their own schedule, and the code moves underneath them — a system that was compliant when installed is not automatically compliant now. TF-FCP-0524-00374 — Modification of existing fire sprinkler system to accommodate new tenant remodel.
• RoofNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Roof age matters electrically too: it sets what can be penetrated for new rooftop units, conduit, or solar.

A found permit means a lot. A missing one means less. We read the City of Tucson’s own permit file, not a recent extract of it — back to about 2006, and into the 1990s on properties with that much history. Microfiche before then was never fully digitised. Every record links to the city’s official file. A blank line does not say nothing was done: work gets done without permits all the time. The only way to know what is actually installed is to look at it.

What that usually means electrically

• Era-based check

  Gear in this age range is usually still supported but is due for infrared scanning and torque verification if that has not been done recently. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check

  NFPA 70E expects arc-flash studies to be reviewed at least every five years, or after any change to the service. Buildings this age often have labeling that no longer matches the installed gear. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Worth confirming

  A pool or spa was permitted in 2010. Pool equipment brings its own bonding grid, GFCI requirements, and usually a subpanel — and the bonding rules have tightened since, so older installations are worth verifying.

• Worth confirming

  There is an electrical reconnect permit from 2003. The service was disconnected at some point and brought back — usually after a vacancy, a utility disconnect, or work that required the power off. Worth knowing what prompted it.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2026-06-01 (TR-UTL-0626-00909) — Tie point will be existing underground vault with Comcast plant. Bore 140' of 2" conduit at a depth of 3'. Run 140' of 48ct fiber and place new vault. Bore 380' of 2" conduit at a depth of 3'. Run 380' of 48ct fiber and place new vault. Bore 250' of 2" conduit at a depth of 3'. Run 250' of 48ct fiber. 08/14/26-Renew permit for 30 days as of 08/13/26 new expiration date is 09/12/26 Effective July 1, 2026, the Mayor and Council approved and implemented a new fee structure and updated application requirements for right-of-way permits. Permits issued prior to July 1, 2026, under the previous fee structure, are eligible for one final renewal for a maximum of 30 days. The previous 60- and 90-day renewal options are no longer available. If work extends beyond the 30-day renewal period, a new permit application must be submitted. The new application must comply with the current fee structure and include all required project information, including the actual number of days traffic control and/or lane closures will be in place (not the permit duration) and the length × width (L × W) of all pavement cuts..

Permit history (220)

212 older records are not shown here. Show all 220 records — each links to its official file.

How to read the status column: Final / Complete / C of O — city records show the permit was finalized. Issued — the work was permitted, but final completion is not confirmed. Applied / In review / Approved / Fees paid — proposed, not completion. Expired — the permit expired without a confirmed final status. Void / Withdrawn / Canceled — not evidence the work was installed. Any other status is shown exactly as the issuing office records it, without a completion reading.

Code enforcement (11)

Code cases and housing-code violations recorded against this parcel, by category. Closed cases stay on the record, and most of these are closed — check the status column. We show the category and the official record number rather than the complaint text, which often names people who have nothing to do with the property.

Record numbers link to the City of Tucson’s official file. Highlighted rows are the ones that imply electrical work or an unpermitted-work finding.

This is an inference from public records — the year a structure was built, how it is classified, and what has been permitted. It is not an inspection, and nothing here confirms what is actually installed at this address. The only way to know is to look in the panel.

The contractor’s read is a plain-English brief of the record above, written by AI — what it shows across electrical, mechanical and the building itself, what is missing for the era, and what to verify on site.
