Core samples settle the argument on a Noe Valley low-slope roof when water is suspected but not visible. As a rule, flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Noe Valley inspection, because that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. San Francisco County is no different.
Realistically, codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Noe Valley estimate should state the assembly being installed. As a rule, the permit record for a Noe Valley property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. In practice, full replacements in Noe Valley generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.
