Own an apartment building? You may be required to retrofit

Many LA-area cities now have mandatory soft-story retrofit ordinances with compliance deadlines for older multi-unit buildings. Miss the deadline and you risk fines or red-tagging. We connect building owners with licensed contractors who handle soft-story retrofits start to finish — engineering, permits, and the work.

Earthquake Retrofit FAQ — Long Beach

What is a brace and bolt retrofit?: Bolting your house to its foundation and bracing the cripple walls so it doesn't slide off in a quake. It's the most common single-family retrofit and the one the EBB grant covers.
How much does an earthquake retrofit cost in Long Beach?: Most single-family brace-and-bolt jobs run roughly $3,000–$8,000 — and grants can cover a large share. Hillside and soft-story jobs cost more. A free inspection gives you the exact number.
Who qualifies for the Brace + Bolt grant?: Generally older homes with a raised foundation in eligible ZIP codes. We check your eligibility for free.
I own a soft-story apartment building — is retrofit mandatory?: In many LA-area cities, yes, with deadlines. We'll tell you your city's requirement and connect you with a licensed contractor who does soft-story work.
