To remove the lien placed on your building by the city of LA, a certificate of occupancy must be recorded in the County Recorder’s office demonstrating compliance with the Soft-Story Seismic Retrofit Program. With your approval, A2Z Seismic Retrofit will file the necessary sign-offs to obtain your certificate. Up to half of the total seismic retrofit cost may be passed through to tenants if approved by HCID-LA, we will prepare and provide a cost recovery substantiation to file along with your application.
