Service on record

City records show the 2026 permit was finalized; the permit description states “Install new 200 amp meter north side of property. Trench 18” deep from meter to main breaker panel mounted on exterior wall. REV1: Change the original meter that was approved in submitted plans for permit. TEP advised us that we needed to change meter to a “Ring Type” before connecting power. ALL meters have been installed up to TEP request. This will be the meter needed on all the Casitas. 1601,1611,1615,1625,1629,1641, and 1647 E. Broadway Blvd Tucson, 85719 will ALL have the same “Ring Type” meter needed for TEP. There have been no other changes from original approved plans, the only change is type of meter. Need clearance from city to proceed with power connection with TEP.”.

Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & distributionCurrentLast permitted this year (2026). City inspection record: COT - RSEL - Electrical Final approved 2026-05-29. 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. TC-RES-0426-02030 — Install new 200 amp meter north side of property. Trench 18” deep from meter to main breaker panel mounted on exterior wall. REV1: Change the original meter that was approved in submitted plans for permit. TEP advised us that we needed to change meter to a “Ring Type” before connecting power.

• Heating, cooling & mechanicalNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Worth knowing: a 2026 adu / casita 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 safetyNot in this windowNothing in the permit records we read for this parcel that names this system. Any alarm or sprinkler work here predates this feed. For an occupied commercial building that is worth confirming from the panel and the inspection tags rather than assuming.
• 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.

• 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 2026. 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

  An ADU or casita was permitted in 2026, which means load has already been added to this property. Whether there is headroom left for anything more depends on how that was fed — a subpanel off the existing service, or its own.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2026-05-21 (TC-COM-0526-00751) — If you have questions regarding this review, please contact CDRC@tucsonaz.gov. VOID: Same permit type and scope of work as existing application permit TC-COM-0526-00701. Please resubmit under existing permit. If you made any changes to your plans, please resubmit your revised plans and a detailed revision narrative/comment response letter that clearly explains how you changed the plans and where the changes can be found on the plan sheets. Updated plans should not include any prior stamps from City of Tucson reviewers because they will need to be restamped. If you are just submitted reports to satisfy permit conditions you will not need to resubmit full construction plans. In this case it looks like you already resubmitted to the old permit as well Step-by-Step instructions on how to resubmit: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/revisions-and-resubmittals.pdf Scope of work includes: -Running sewer line 3" ABS from HCS Connection with cleanouts at building within 30 inches and one at HCS Connection to each individual bungalow up into the crawlspace, and to the first fixture being the hall bath. -Running a one-inch water line from the meter to inside a fence for future water service with a one-inch PRV (pressure reducing valve) and a one-inch ball valve shut off valve.

Permit history (37)

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 (7)

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?
