Supplements are normal on Hayes Valley claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. Realistically, denied Hayes Valley claims are often reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. This holds across San Francisco County. As a rule, code upgrade cover decides whether a Hayes Valley claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.
