Fire-zone properties around Mission District carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against. It is the same story on most Mission District streets. In practice, inspection scheduling in Mission District adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. Codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Mission District estimate should state the assembly being fitted.
