What happens if I do not comply with the seismic retrofit requirements of the URM Ordinance?
Failure to comply with the seismic retrofit requirements of the URM Ordinance will result in the violation of the ordinance. Such violation is a cause by which the Building Official is authorized to seek enforcement of the URM Ordinance, which may result in vacation and possible demolition of the URM building at the owner’s cost. The City of San Diego may also seek judicial remedies as allowed under the law to hold owner(s) of the URM buildings liable and subject to civil and /or criminal prosecution.
