Structural repairs to a building become necessary when walls and frames lack sufficient strength to reliably support the stories above them, especially in the event of an earthquake. These are known as soft story buildings.

A seismic retrofit is a common type of structural repair implemented by building owners throughout the Bay Area who wish to keep their families and tenants safe. The city of San Francisco has mandated that wood-frame soft story buildings with three-stories and five to 15 units must have a soft story retrofit. The deadline for submitting these soft story structural repair plans is rapidly approaching.
