Yep, undoubtedly they are breaking the law. But no one appears to care. Ss I was reading your comment, I was thinking "There are so many unpermitted remodels in SF I wonder why this person actually paid for permits?" If you try to buy a house, I would say every single house I saw in SF had some sort of unpermitted remodelling, and no one cares, not even the real estate agents. It's almost as if SF likes to penalize the people that follow the law, which is backwards and sad.
