Local Market Brief
San Francisco's attached rowhouse stock in the Sunset and Richmond creates smoke migration patterns with no inland parallel, fog-facing stucco exterior, shared party walls, shared attic planes, and balloon framing carry fire contamination across multiple units in ways that require unit-by-unit thermal imaging and HVAC system investigation beyond the fire unit. Mission District 1900-1920 mixed-use carries confirmed asbestos throughout. SF DBI has one of the most complex permit processes in California, seismic retrofit obligations, historic preservation review, and neighborhood notification requirements that can extend timelines for contractors who haven't built DBI relationships.
