Div: 88 of the City of Los Angeles required all brick buildings built prior to 1993 be reinforced to meet new standards. Ethan Teitler using his contractors license and acting as vice president of a California corporation oversaw the completion of over 300 buildings in a period of six years. Since the inception of ETz, we retrofitted over 80 old structures, some on a design build basis. A few of these projects included historical renovations, others were city or county structures, churches and places of worship.

After the 1994 earthquake a new ordinance was adopted to reinforce concrete tuiltup structures and other concrete buildings.

Under this program we have retrofitted near a 100 buildings ranging from small 10,000 square feet to over 250,000 square feet. We have also reinforced a few high rises and countless historical buildings.

The seismic mitigating program has all but died down as it applied to older buildings but we are still involved in this program from time to time.
