This Chapter is intended to promote public safety and welfare and safeguard life and
limb, health, and property through a mandatory program for screening residential buildings
which are most vulnerable to earthquake damage and catastrophic collapse. The non-engineered
(prescriptive) analytical standards set forth herein will serve to screen buildings
for potentially critical structural deficiencies in the lateral force resisting system
of the ground-floor and the potential risk for seismically induced damage from an
earthquake.
This Chapter is not intended to create or otherwise establish or designate any particular
class or group of persons who will or should be especially protected or benefited
by the terms set forth herein, and these standards are not intended to endorse, authorize,
or approve any prior work accomplished without required permits, inspections, fees,
or final approvals.
