Every rule that has to clear before a Bay Area home can change hands.
Sewer laterals, city resale reports, energy ordinances, retrofits, septic and fire — in the nine counties, by address. Every line links to the ordinance and carries the date a human last checked it.
What it will not do: it never tells you a property is compliant. It tells you what the rule says and where to read it. Absence of a requirement here is not an opinion that none exists — jurisdictions that have not been fully checked say so on their own page.

Read this before you rely on it
CloseCheck tells you what a rule says and where to read it. It never tells you that a property is compliant. Ordinances change, boundaries do not follow city limits, and fees move. Every line below links to its source and carries the date it was last checked — open the link and confirm with the issuing agency before you remove a contingency or set a closing date.
Absence of a requirement here is not a legal opinion that none exists. Jurisdictions marked not yet researched have not been checked at all.
Put your name on it
Optional, and stored only on this device. Fill this in and every report you print or copy carries your details at the top — the client sees your name on the work, and the sourcing and the disclaimer travel with it.

Half of Bay Area inventory sits near a city line, and the same house one street over can mean a different agency, a different fee, or nothing at all.
What changed
Ordinances move and a stale entry is worse than no entry, so every change to this dataset is dated and kept. An ordinance change is news you may have to act on; a correction means this tool was wrong before, which matters just as much if you relied on it.
