In practice, photographs taken in advance of any tarping on a Mission Bay property are the the majority of valuable evidence in the whole claim.
As a rule, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Mission Bay building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Walking a Mission Bay tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Annual inspection on a Mission Bay property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. San Francisco County is no different.
