Why Pico Rivera Homes Get Retrofitted
Pico Rivera's neighborhoods went up largely in the 1950s after the two towns merged, and the housing stock is dominated by single-story, raised-foundation homes of exactly the era that predates modern bolting requirements.
Pico Rivera sits directly in the zone geologists study for the Puente Hills thrust system — stated once, factually: it's a good city to own a bolted house in, and bolting here is usually a one-to-two-day job.
