It is the same story on most Simi Valley streets. Additions and conversions are common in Simi Valley, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin.
Realistically, permit fees in Simi Valley are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. On most jobs, unpermitted roofing in Simi Valley surfaces at resale. the Simi Valley building department keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it. Ventura County is no different. Put simply, reroofing over existing layers in Simi Valley is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. That is as true in Simi Valley as anywhere in Ventura County.
