In practice, a permitted Hayes Valley re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof covering. San Francisco County is no different. Fire-zone properties around Hayes Valley carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against. It is the same story on most Hayes Valley streets. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Hayes Valley is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. This holds across San Francisco County.
