Realistically, second-storey additions in Marina District create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. Put simply, multi-unit buildings in Marina District usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. Most roof coverings in Marina District fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.
