Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, permit requirements in Russian Hill run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs as a rule do not require one; a tear-off and replacement does. Realistically, solar removal and reset on a Russian Hill job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. We see it on Russian Hill roofs every week.
