Skipping permits is a way of life in SF. (I had work conversations about buying older gromex so the dates were before you purchased in case am inspector noticed. Inspectors were prohibited from noticing anything they were not specifically there for.)

I wondered at the specific permit they missed.

without a permit changing the building from a bank to a living space and illegally converting a toilet into a shower.

That seems important to do properly.
