        "text": "Yes, any significant room expansion in Albany, as well as other East Bay cities like Berkeley, Oakland, or El Cerrito, will require permits from the local building department. These permits ensure that your addition meets safety, zoning, and building codes. Failing to obtain necessary permits can lead to fines, construction delays, or even the requirement to demolish non-compliant structures.",
