In practice, shaded north slopes in Marina District hold damp well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there first and nowhere else. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, wind-driven rainfall in Marina District arrives sideways, so laps and headlaps do the work that gravity does on a sheltered roof. Ponding on a Marina District low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder life than the rainfall total suggests. It is the same story on most Marina District streets.
