Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Permits are pulled before anything is opened up. Work done without them surfaces at resale, when an inspector flags unpermitted square footage and the sale stalls.
