Unpermitted roofing in Western Addition surfaces at resale. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it. Put simply, inspection scheduling in Western Addition adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. This holds across San Francisco County. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection handles the paperwork for roofing the project in Western Addition, and a licensed roofing company pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. San Francisco County is no different.
