        "text": "Many senior-friendly home modifications in the Bay Area, particularly those involving structural changes, electrical work, plumbing, or significant alterations to the home's footprint, often require permits. Examples include installing a ramp, widening doorways in load-bearing walls, or reconfiguring a bathroom layout. Minor cosmetic changes like installing grab bars typically do not. Your contractor can advise on specific permit requirements for your project, ensuring all work complies with local building codes in areas like Pacifica or Daly City.",
