Why Alhambra Homes Get Retrofitted
Alhambra's neighborhoods are largely 1920s and 1930s bungalows and Spanish-style homes on raised foundations, built decades before anchor bolts or plywood bracing were part of the code.
Alhambra was one of the cities damaged in the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, which was centered only a few miles to the southeast.
