Coverage & updates
What the site covers, when it was reviewed, and what it cannot do.
Bay Sale Ready organizes 7 selected home-sale topics across 5 cities. This is a free, independent, noncommercial informational project, not a complete inventory of local rules or a determination for any property.
Published coverage
- Oakland: Sidewalk Compliance Certificate; EBMUD Private Sewer Lateral Compliance.
- Berkeley: Building Emissions Saving Ordinance (BESO); Sewer Lateral Certificate.
- Hayward: Permit and Property Records.
- San José: Street-Tree Disclosure.
- San Francisco: 3R Report of Residential Building Record.
A city or topic not listed here is outside the published dataset. Its absence does not mean that no requirement applies.
Dataset-wide review schedule
Dataset last reviewed by Bay Sale Ready: .
Next scheduled review: .
The dataset identifies 47 source records, each with its own review date. A scheduled review is a maintenance target, not a promise that every agency change will be detected immediately.
Last reviewed by Bay Sale Ready: . Information may have changed since our last review. Verify current requirements and status directly with the responsible agency before relying on it.
Automated URL monitoring only observes whether a source responds. It does not confirm that the source text is unchanged, complete, or applicable to a particular property or transaction.
Public change log
· Active dataset revision
Three focused city pilots added
- Added a Hayward permit-record navigation guide without calling it a mandatory time-of-sale report.
- Added the San José street-tree disclosure timing and official contact path without republishing an unconfirmed old form.
- Added a San Francisco 3R guide that keeps City-record reporting separate from physical inspection or a compliance decision.
This public log begins with the active dataset revision and does not claim to reconstruct earlier internal drafts. Future factual corrections, source changes, and coverage additions will be listed here after publication.
Known limitations
- Coverage is limited to the cities and topics listed above; the site does not identify every disclosure, permit, tax, title, safety, HOA, utility, or transaction requirement.
- The question tool does not inspect an address, property record, contract, certificate, permit, title document, or transfer facts.
- Agency pages, forms, portals, fees, deadlines, interpretations, and professional credentials can change between reviews.
- Bay Sale Ready does not provide legal, real estate, engineering, inspection, contracting, brokerage, referral, or compliance services and does not rank or endorse providers.
- A question-list output is not an exemption, approval, certificate, deadline calculation, or official determination.
