A few days after replacing my roof, one of my neighbors handed me a card froma City of Oakland Building Inspector, and told me I needed to call him. So I did; the building inspector asked about the roof work I had done, which I characterized as "repairs". He said that because it was a repair job, I didn't need a permit. He also told me that I had to get the pile of debris disposed of, and that the complaint was called in because of the pile of debris. The guy two houses down, who enclosed a porch and did much other work without a permit, got nailed with a $1000-fine stop-work order.
