• Electrical service & panelCurrentLast permitted 2003 (23 years ago). City inspection record: PERMIT FINALED approved 2003-07-11. Contractor of record: NIGHT OWL ELECTRIC *T. The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. T03EL01261 — ELECTRIC:UPGRADE 60-100 AMPS (APA)
• Heating & coolingLikely dueLast permitted 2003 (23 years ago). City inspection record: PERMIT FINALED approved 2003-07-10. Contractor of record: MORGAN BROTHERS HEATING & COOLING*C. 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. 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. T03ME00373 — REPLACE:HEAT PUMP (APA)
• Water heaterLikely dueLast permitted 2011 (15 years ago). T11PL01484 — REPLACE WATER LINE FROM METER TO HOUSE, RELOCATE GAS WATER HEATER TO EXTERIOR OF RES
• RoofNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system.
• Plumbing work on recordNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Unremarkable — plenty of buildings never need a permitted plumbing repair.

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.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2011-09-08 (T11PL01484) — REPLACE WATER LINE FROM METER TO HOUSE, RELOCATE GAS WATER HEATER TO EXTERIOR OF RES.

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?

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.
