Is it time to upgrade?

• Electrical service & distributionCurrentLast permitted 2016 (10 years ago). City inspection record: ELECTRIC - FINAL approved 2017-05-26. Contractor of record: ENGINEERING WIRELESS SERVICES LLC. The permit describes an increase in capacity, which is the single best sign the electrical has actually been brought forward. 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. T16CM06785 — 100 TO 200 AMP UPGRADE
• Heating, cooling & mechanicalCurrentA newer 2019 permit for the same system is recorded as “Expired” — The permit expired without a confirmed final status. The permit description states “HVAC UPGRADE”. Last permitted 2018 (8 years ago). City inspection record: MECHANICAL - FINAL approved 2018-08-23. Contractor of record: PUEBLO MECHANICAL AND CONTROLS INC. 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. T18CM02603 — CHILLER/ REPLACEMENT
• Fire alarm & life safetyCurrentLast permitted 2020 (6 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. T20FC00842 — Upgrading (4) ADA rooms to include sounder bases, strobes, & NAC panel to power new devices.
• 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 looking at

  There is an open code enforcement case on this parcel. An open case can hold up a permit, and if it touches unpermitted work the electrical scope usually has to be brought up to code as part of resolving it.

• 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 2021. 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.

Most recent permit on record for this parcel: 2026-06-10 (TC-DMO-0626-00097) — Remove all T-Mobile antennas, coax and equipment from the rooftop. Nothing being reinstalled.

Permit history (69)

61 older records are not shown here. Show all 69 records — each links to its official file.

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 (18)

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?
