Housing stock in Mission District runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up. Multi-unit buildings in Mission District usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. Streets in Mission District that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
