In practice, flashings at the chimney on an older Mission Bay house usually need attention well before the covering does. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, moss on a shaded Mission Bay slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
Put simply, we do not advise filing a Mission Bay claim where the harm is clearly age, since a declined claim stays on the record. That is as true in Mission Bay as anywhere in San Francisco County. Deductibles on Mission Bay policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. It is the same story on most Mission Bay streets. Code upgrade cover decides whether a Mission Bay claim pays for bringing the assembly current or only for like-for-like.
