San Francisco, California.

SF's overlapping Planning + DBI + Zoning + neighborhood-notification process makes ADUs and remodels procedurally heavier than anywhere else in California.

Plan check runs through SF Department of Building Inspection, with submittal, corrections, and inspection scheduling all handled in our license — CSLB #1145233. Coastal Zone parcels need a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) on top of the building permit, which we file in parallel with plan check to keep timelines tight. Historic-overlay or HPOZ-equivalent review applies to exterior alterations in designated districts and adds a design-review step ahead of building plan check. Local rent-stabilization or tenant-protection rules apply to most pre-1979/1983 multifamily — relevant for duplex-and-up work.
