The California Building Code (CBC) states that no building or structure can be used or occupied until a building official has issued a certificate of occupancy. The penalties for operating without a certificate of occupancy in California can include fines of up to $1000 a day until the violation is corrected.
In Oakland you need a building permit for any structure that's more than 120sqft unless it's a deck that's no more than 3' off the ground and doesn't connect to a house entrance. So, a giant pergola or whatever it is does need a permit and you're not wrong to report them.
