        "text": "In San Francisco, Daly City, and most Bay Area municipalities, a building permit is generally required for any wall framing work that alters the structural integrity of your home, changes its footprint, creates new openings in load-bearing walls, or adds new framed walls. This includes moving or removing load-bearing walls, adding new rooms, or constructing exterior walls. Minor, non-structural alterations to existing interior walls often do not require a permit, but it's always best to consult with your local building department or a licensed contractor to ensure compliance and avoid potential issues.",
