Why Downey Homes Get Retrofitted
Downey's mid-century neighborhoods — built through the aerospace boom of the 1950s and 60s — are full of raised-foundation ranch homes that predate bolting requirements.
Downey sits between the Whittier and Norwalk fault zones, and its pre-1980 ranch tracts are classic brace-and-bolt territory — a two-to-four-day job on most floor plans.
