Put simply, fire-zone properties around Outer Mission carry assembly requirements that the permit will look over against. 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 Outer Mission estimate should state the assembly being installed.
Dust and grit settle on Outer Mission roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the earliest time it rains. In practice, dry offshore winds reach Outer Mission through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. That is as true in Outer Mission as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, outer Mission gets its rainfall in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week.
