california building mandatory retrofit program

Reduce The Risk of Injury or Loss of Life from Earthquakes

The purpose of this program is to reduce the risk of injury or loss of life that may result from the effects of earthquakes on wood-frame soft-story buildings. In the Northridge Earthquake, many wood frame soft-story buildings caused loss of life, injury, and property damage. This program creates a guide for property owners to strengthen their buildings, so as to improve performance during an earthquake.

Modern Architectural Designs
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) has determined that your building meets all the following criteria: it is two or more stories with wood frame construction, it was built under building code standards enacted before January 1, 1978, and it contains ground floor parking or other similar open floor space that causes soft, weak, or open wall lines.
Don’t settle for shaky foundations. CalRetrofit specializes in strengthening homes and commercial buildings from the ground up. We offer comprehensive services like home stabilization, Soft Story reinforcements, balcony inspections and repairs, foundation repair and leveling, and basement waterproofing to ensure your property is safe and secure.
