        "text": "Yes, finishing a basement in cities like Daly City or San Mateo almost always requires obtaining the necessary building permits. This is because the work typically involves structural changes, electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC modifications that must meet local building codes for safety and compliance. Failing to secure permits can lead to fines, project delays, or even requiring the work to be redone. Your contractor should assist with the permit application process.",
