When it comes to pre-ŋ raising of /ɪ/ to /i/ in California English, does this raising universally affect all the words containing -ing?

English Language & Usage Asked on August 1, 2021

Like how king becomes /kiŋ/ and singing becomes /siŋiŋ/. But does this affect all words containing the -ing suffix? On top of my head, I can think of a word like building where I think this raising doesn’t happen but I am not sure about that. It’d be good to have a set of rules that dictate how this works.
