To address the lack of consumer friendly information regarding soft-story buildings and ordinances in the Bay Area and increase awareness about the topic, I’ve been reaching out to apartment associations and building owners.

Check out an article I wrote for the Spring Maintenance issue of the Rental Housing Association of Northern Alameda County magazine, available online here: (http://www.enginious-structures.com/onsolidground.pdf). It’s a great comprehensive overview of the current soft-story situation in the Bay Area. If you know anyone who might benefit from learning about this issue, please help spread the word. We have additional resources available on our website www.enginious-structures.com , and are also available to answer questions through phone or email
