        "text": "In Oakland, room additions typically require a building permit from the City of Oakland Planning and Building Department. Depending on the specifics of your project, you might also need separate permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Additionally, if the addition impacts setback requirements, lot coverage, or height limits, zoning review and possibly design review permits may be necessary. It's crucial to consult with a contractor or the city to understand all applicable permit requirements for your specific project.",
