Work in Noe Valley is inspected as well as permitted — the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. That is as true in Noe Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Noe Valley quote should state the assembly being installed.
