Code compliance in a home remodel?
djt0704 asked:
My 1947 CA home had a major remodel 10 years ago by the previous owner (added 400 sq ft to the back). My question is, would they have been required to retrofit the foundation on the existing portion up to modern code? I know I can’t assume anything, but what is typically done?

Side question: About how much is it to get a foundation inspection to see how much earthquake retrofit is needed.
Thanks for your help.

You should contact the building inspector for your township/county. Each area goes by different codes. It doesn’t cost you anything for him to come out and look WITH you. (or it shouldn’t) Call and ask, then make an appointment or speak with him/her directly.
