rolled out in stages.and now it's time for building with 5 to 15 units to get up to code. george mak and his team are working to secure a building on haight street strenghting frames using shear walls and anchor bolts. it will be able to sustain a certain amount of swaying it will lock it in placehis client is one of the roughly 25-hundred building owners who are tackling this task.but there are still over a thousand buildings with no earthquake retrofit plans in the pipeline and the deadline get permit applications into the dept of buildig inspection runs out next friday .after that, city inspectors will try shaming them into compliance by slapping these earthquake warning signs on their exteriors. landlords could then face fines, buiding leins or end up hearing from the city attorney.the city's building department says they have seen a spike of last minute applications in the last two weeks. they are hoping the recent destruction in mexico will wake lagging landlords up to what's at risk. it reminds us that earthquakes are very unprediticble and they can be really devastating. that's why we have this program we want people to take the steps that will help improve the chances of a building not collapsing. it will protect lives and it will certainly protect property.the department of building inspection is bracing for a possible surge in business next week so they are bringing on extra staffing and extra engineers in case those building owners who have been procrastinating up until now get jolted into action. maureen kelly kron4 news

"i will speak the truth with respect, and in civil ways, but never back down."one of the many handshakes of the evening was from former president bill clinton."i am grateful that you never take a smile off your face no matter

how much it's raining outside." clinton praised the browns for their service not only to their congregation, but to the community and to civil rights. he quoted the book of james, saying the browns showed their faith by their works."anybody can talk about doing good, but doing it's actually hard work." governor jerry brown also spoke briefly, as did former presidential candidate jesse jackson."forty years is a long time. not as long as i've been in politics, but it's still a long time."when amos brown spoke with kron four before the service began, he said today's racisim will destroy our country, and that his own personal mentor, martin luther king, would say we've lost our minds.but the pastor also expressed hope and humility.

the buildings the city wants to see fixed are the kinds that suffered the worst damage during the 1989 loma prieta quake. older wood frame buildings refered to as soft story, because they have few walls the ground floor, like with a gargage or commercial spaceand are more likely to collapse in a powerful shaker. the city passed a law in 2013 that any soft story building built before 1978 with 5 or more units and three or more floors get seismically retrofitted. it's being rolled out in stages.and now it's time for building with 5 to 15 units to get up to code. george mak and his team are working to secure a building on haight street strenghting frames using shear walls and anchor bolts. it will be able to sustain a certain amount of swaying it will lock it in placehis client is one of the roughly 25-hundred building owners who are tackling this task.but there are still over a thousand buildings with no earthquake retrofit plans in the pipeline and the deadline get permit applications into the dept of buildig inspection runs out next friday .after that, city inspectors will try shaming them into compliance by slapping these earthquake

warning signs on their exteriors. landlords could then face fines, buiding leins or end up hearing from the city attorney.the city's building department says they have seen a spike of last minute applications in the last two weeks. they are hoping the recent destruction in mexico will wake lagging landlords up to what's at risk. it reminds us that earthquakes are very unprediticble and they can be really devastating. that's why we have this program we want people to take the steps that will help improve the chances of a building not collapsing. it will protect lives and it will certainly protect property.the department of building inspection is bracing for a possible surge in business next week so they are bringing on extra staffing and extra engineers in case those building owners who have been procrastinating up until now get jolted into action. maureen kelly kron4 news (marty) the panda breaks his
