• Electrical service & distributionNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2019 special events fire permit - organizer 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. No permitted service work shows in the record we read — unremarkable for a building of this age, whose service was sized to modern code at construction. The live question is spare capacity for new loads (EV charging, kitchen or process equipment), not the age of the gear. 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.
• Heating, cooling & mechanicalLikely dueLast permitted 2007 (19 years ago). 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. Equipment from before about 2010 generally runs R-22, which has not been produced since 2020 — repairs mean reclaimed refrigerant at a price that often exceeds replacing the unit. T07CM00193 — RELOCATE:HVAC UNITS
• Fire alarm & life safetyFinaled permit foundA newer 2021 permit for the same system is recorded as “Expired” — The permit expired without a confirmed final status. The permit description states “Automatic Fire Extingshing Sys - Re-Pipe Existing Fire Suppression System.; Commercial Cooking Suppression - New System: 1”. Last permitted 2012 (14 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. T12BU00998 — Add 4 fire sprinklers
• 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 digitized. 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

  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.

• Routine

  A trade permit was pulled in 2012. Trade permits cover electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work individually, so some permitted trade work has been done here since.

TEP grid capacityThis parcel is not inside any of the 11 areas TEP has mapped as saturated with distributed generation (the nearest, “Aviation Pkwy and Kino Pkwy”, is about 1.4 miles away — TEP’s map set, July 2020). New generation still goes through TEP’s interconnection screens, and a heavy new load still merits a utility capacity check — the maps only mark where that review is most likely to bite.

The building area above comes from the Pima County Assessor’s record, as we read it on 28 Jan 2026. Each other row names its own source.

The most recent permitted work on this parcel was in 2026. That says the parcel was worked on under permit, not what the work covered — a roof, a pool or a changeout tells you nothing about the electrical service. Work done without a permit leaves no trace here at all.

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.

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.

What the flood note is not. The FEMA map linked above is the National Flood Hazard Layer — the federal insurance map. Local floodplain mapping is not reproduced here; use the authority’s own map, linked above. Nothing here is a floodplain determination, an elevation certificate, or a substitute for one. A parcel can straddle a boundary, and a Letter of Map Amendment can remove a structure the map still covers. For a determination, ask the floodplain administrator for the jurisdiction named above; for a design that has to satisfy one, that is work we do.
