About each permit
Fire Code Permits / Site Inspections
ACFD's fire-code authority reaches only the unincorporated area (Ashland, Cherryland, Castro Valley, Sunol, unincorporated Livermore and Pleasanton — explicitly NOT Fairview) plus five contract cities: Dublin, Emeryville, Newark, San Leandro and Union City. A commercial-kitchen hood suppression system (restaurant, coffee shop), an assembly-occupancy inspection (fitness studio), a fire clearance needed for state childcare licensing, or flammable-materials storage inspection (auto-repair, retail) in any of those areas goes through ACFD. In the other nine cities — Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton — that city's own independent fire department handles fire-code permitting instead, entirely outside ACFD's authority and outside this record.
