Realistically, full replacements in Mission Bay generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.

On most jobs, code upgrade cover decides whether a Mission Bay claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like. We see it on Mission Bay roofs every week. Supplements are normal on Mission Bay claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. As a rule, policies covering Mission Bay properties generally pay for sudden harm and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County.
