If you are concerned about the oceans rising 6 inches in the next 200 years and affecting the property, yeah that's something you probably are wasting time worrying about.

You can then slowly inch up to full market rent the following years.You can certainly get them out and go for a new tenant paying full market rent but keep in mind that you are in San Francisco and you might have a hard time evicting a potential bad tenant.

I would go with the glass mosaic or like a neutral subway tile with glass mosaic 3-4 inch strip that catches the black in the countertop. 

I did have it trimmed, and they dropped large logs onto the roof, which put a small 2 inch hole into the roof and caused a leak 8 months later once enough twigs and leaves caused the roof to allow water to pool when it rained.

The " flag"  is on decorative license plate trim , its about  2 inches by 4 inches  if that big .      

This would save you money in the long run as it would reduce your insurance costs and then restore its ability for banks to loan without the flood insurance.Raise the home off the ground so that the floor is 12 inches (or more) above the base flood elevation.  

Lawns are to be left in cut condition at the end of the lease, meaning the grass shouldn't be taller than 4 inches or so.

To further clarify, like others have said sometimes if you only need a few inches to pass code for headroom (ceiling height)  sometimes you can obtain this if your existing footers are far enough below the slab to accommodate the needed CH.in the diagram you can see that there is some room to lower the slab before interfering w the footing. in my area when someone considers this it's usually to gain a foot or more of room which leads to the underpinning option and costs.

The installation tolerances on Grohe are pretty tight compared to Delta, but Moen usually beats even Delta out of the water when it comes to well-thought-out installations.BTW, JD, I've done exactly ONE wall-mounted bathroom vanity faucet draining into a small 14-inch vessel sink.

The inspector told me that for the past 50 years, it has sunk 1.5-2.0 inches.
