• Electrical service & panelCurrentA newer 2025 permit for the same system is recorded as “Expired” — The permit expired without a confirmed final status. The permit description states “Installing main electric meter for each unit 125 amp main”. Last permitted 2011 (15 years ago). City inspection record: ELECTRIC - FINAL approved 2011-02-25. Contractor of record: IRKA ELECTRIC L L C. The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. T11EL00326 — ELEC UPGRADE 200AMPS O/H
• Heating & coolingNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Cooling equipment works 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.
• Water heaterNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Water heaters are frequently swapped without a permit, so this line is especially weak evidence either way.
• RoofNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system.
• Plumbing work on recordPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2000 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “WATER LINE:REPLACEMENT”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The permit expired without a confirmed final status. Official status: Expired. T00PL01269 — WATER LINE:REPLACEMENT

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 — high priority

  Knob-and-tube wiring may still be present in original, un-remodeled areas. It has no ground and is not rated for modern loads or insulation contact. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check — high priority

  Original services this age were 30–60 A fuse panels. Nearly every one still in place is undersized for a modern household. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Era-based check — high priority

  Branch circuits from this era are typically ungrounded two-wire — the reason you see two-prong outlets or ungrounded three-prong replacements. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

Permit history (9)

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.

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. See an error in this public-record report?

Utility and upgrade pathElectric service here is Tucson Electric Power (TEP). A service or panel upgrade needs a TEP meter release and has to meet TEP’s service requirements — meter height and location, clearances, and the point of attachment. See TEP new-service requirements and the TEP standards notes.
