Optimum Seismic Apartment Management Partnership Reduces Your Earthquake Liability Exposure

You can reduce potential earthquake liability for your property management firm and your clients by participating in Optimum Seismic’s Apartment Management Partnership program. By doing so, you can minimize your exposure to potentially millions of dollars in liability claims for owner’s negligence.

At no cost to you or your clients, this program provides valuable information on the growing number of cities in California enacting ordinances that require earthquake retrofits of wood-frame, soft-story structures–a type of architecture commonly used for apartment buildings, with parking on the ground floor and dwelling units built above it. These buildings, which were typically constructed prior to 1989, may have structural weaknesses that can lead to collapse during earthquakes.

Contact Optimum Seismic today to get started on making your multifamily housing properties more secure from earthquake damage.

Step 1. Complimentary consultation with you and your staff regarding structural safety during earthquakes.
Step 2. Complimentary survey of all your managed properties
Step 3. Identification of all at-risk properties
Step 4. Preparation of a customized engineering proposal designed to secure each site
Step 5. Owner’s consultation and on-site visit regarding improving structural safety
Step 6. Current materials to keep property owners aware of earthquake safety information
