The majority of Marina District claims that let go do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Partial claims on a Marina District roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. It is the same story on most Marina District streets. We do not advise filing a Marina District claim where the deterioration is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record.
