Permits in South San Francisco go through the City of South San Francisco Building Division (DBI). DBI's electrical division reviews every EV charging install — typical timelines run 3–8 weeks depending on whether the building is a single-family Victorian, a TIC, or a condo with shared electrical. ChargeWizards handles the entire DBI submission, including the load calculation per NEC 220.87, the panel schedule, and the inspection request. As a Tesla Certified Installer (CSLB #1134931), we know which inspectors expect what.
