Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Studio City is renowned for its picturesque neighborhoods and vibrant local scene. However, many buildings in this area are susceptible to seismic activity, making a soft story retrofit crucial.
A soft story retrofit strengthens multi-story buildings with a weak first floor, typically featuring large openings like garages. These structures are especially vulnerable during earthquakes. Retrofitting involves reinforcing the ground floor to prevent collapse and ensure the building’s integrity.
