9Mission Bay Permit Requirements

Historic districts near Mission Bay may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. The permit record for a Mission Bay property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. Permit requirements in Mission Bay run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs in most cases do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Fire-zone properties around Mission Bay carry assembly requirements that the permit will look over against. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in Mission Bay is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.

Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Mission Bay property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. In practice, annual inspection on a Mission Bay property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service service life. On most jobs, flashings at the chimney on an older Mission Bay house as a rule need attention well in advance of the covering does.
