Code upgrade cover decides whether a Glen Park claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.
In practice, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Glen Park property pays for itself the soonest time a claim is questioned. This holds across San Francisco County. In practice, trimming back branches over a Glen Park roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its working life. Moss on a shaded Glen Park slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. San Francisco County is no different.
