        "text": "Permit requirements for interior finish upgrades depend on the nature of the work and local regulations in Berkeley, East Bay, Oakland, Albany, and El Cerrito. Cosmetic changes like painting or new flooring typically don't require permits. However, structural modifications, plumbing, or electrical work almost always do.
