It is the same story on most Tenderloin streets. As a rule, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Tenderloin roof, and the policy wording decides which applies. San Francisco County is no different. Most Tenderloin claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched ahead of anyone photographed it. Realistically, we do not advise filing a Tenderloin claim where the damage is clearly age, because a declined claim stays on the record. Policies covering Tenderloin properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. It is the same story on most Tenderloin streets.

4What the Weather Does to a Tenderloin Roof
