It is the same story on most Marina District streets. Concrete tile suits Marina District buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question earliest. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County.
A Marina District inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. A Marina District roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Moisture readings matter on Marina District low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
