We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week. In practice, permit fees in Outer Mission are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the homeowner at resale. We see it on Outer Mission roofs every week. On most jobs, work in Outer Mission is inspected as well as permitted — the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.
Realistically, tile underlayment in Outer Mission dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Put simply, dust and grit settle on Outer Mission roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. This holds across San Francisco County. As a rule, roof surface temperatures in Outer Mission routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it.
