Why Burbank Homes Get Retrofitted
Burbank filled in fast during the 1940s, when aircraft plant workers needed housing, and whole neighborhoods of small wood-frame homes from that decade are still standing. Many sit on raised foundations built years before anchor bolts were standard.
The Verdugo Fault runs through Burbank at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and the city shook hard in both the 1971 San Fernando and 1994 Northridge earthquakes.
