UPDATE April 2025:
San Francisco implements seismic safety screenings for non-ductile concrete buildings within two years.
To have your building screened at a low cost, please contact us at nonductile@forell.com. We can quickly let you know whether your building will be included in a future mandatory retrofit program and provide the required forms for submission to San Francisco Department of Building Inspection.
In addition, we have partners in cost estimation, architecture, and construction who offer retrofit consulting services to help Owners understand how to mitigate their risk of non-ductile concrete buildings and the associated construction costs.
