Not going to figure out what the service amps are here…
Does that say #6 TW on the black conductor? If so then it’s only rated for 55 amps. What a mess.

That’s what I see, too.

Yes, TW #6
But I can’t be confident in calling it at 55A because there’s no proof the wire is original. At the time the main was changed, the “electricians” could have landed new wire to the meter base. I can guess this was 3x50A service originally for the three units, but not sure if I can say that with confidence. I did not try to measure the SE cables coming down.
LOL one of the units had TWO 50A breakers, plus a 30A for a mini-split, for an all electric unit.
It was an illegal AirBnB flip: the purchasers never paid mortgage or property tax, just renovated and opeated the BnB until shut down then foreclosed on.
I guess I’m not following you.
Couldn’t the “no proof the wire is original” be able to be said about any service that was inspected?

Is there one SE cable feeding the meter enclosure? If so the size of the conductors feeding the meter section is not relevant to the service size of each individual unit. I don’t see how the possible past changing of the conductors is relevant either since the service has #6 TW conductors.

There’s a single SE cable serving the gutter, then three meters. Each meter is 200A rated, each socket is rated at 100A. The wire from each meter is #6 TW as pictured.
The conductors that are hopefully original are the #6 TW. Anyway it’s a flashing red ink referral, due to the lack of main breaker.
You’re correct about the lack of a single service disconnect. With the #6 service conductors and no main how do you report the service size?

(I’d rather just call the POCO, but they’ve made that all but impossible).
