• Electrical service & distributionNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2012 solar pv permit is on file (and 1 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. That does not mean the gear is original — only that nothing has been permitted here recently. Where it matters is capacity: obsolete distribution lines carry breaker and fusible-switch lead times that turn an outage into a shutdown, and that is worth knowing before a new tenant or a new rooftop unit. 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 1997 (29 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.

• Fire alarm & life safetyPermitted — completion not confirmedA 2020 permit specifies this work (the permit description states “Fire Alarm & Detection Systems - Replace old Panel wih new 4007 and NAC Panel; Fire Alarm Systems - New Sq Ft: 5000”), but the available record does not show a final inspection. The permit expired without a confirmed final status. Official status: Expired.

• 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 — high priority

  Distribution gear this age is frequently past the point where the manufacturer still supports it. Breakers and fusible switches for obsolete lines can carry long lead times, which turns an outage into a shutdown. The permit record does not confirm this; an on-site inspection is required.

• Worth confirming

  Multifamily property. House panels, unit meters, and common-area loads are usually metered and maintained separately — worth confirming which side of the meter a problem falls on before scheduling work.

• 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 2017. 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

  Solar equipment was permitted here in 2012 — the permit category covers PV, solar water heating and pool heating alike. If it was PV, there is an existing interconnection and the busbar already carries backfeed, which constrains what else can be added under the 120% rule; a thermal system carries no such constraint. Worth confirming which it is.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2026-05-19 (TZ-CMP-0526-00092) — A/E West Consultants Inc. requests a zoning compliance letter for the Zona Verde Apartments. The subject property consists of eleven two-story, apartment buildings with a total of 138 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment units, plus a one-story, leasing office building and a one-story, laundry building situated on approximately 4.049 acres of land. The Assessor’s Parcel No. is 123-15-158C and was constructed around 1976. The letter shall indicate the current zoning for the property, and to confirm whether the current use is in accordance with the provisions of the current zoning code. If the current use is not in accordance with current zoning, please indicate whether the property is currently legal nonconforming and which portions of the zoning code apply..

Permit history (15)

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 (8)

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. See an error in this public-record report?
