A comprehensive assessment of building seismic capabilities is progressing slowly, with many homeowners finding ways to evade the requirement for public safety declaration of the seismic assessment results, diminishing the intended impact of the policy. Despite efforts to enforce reporting, challenges remain, such as the high costs and operational disruptions faced by older buildings needing structural reinforcement, leading to issues within the industry. Authorities are aware of cases where property ownership transfer is manipulated to avoid reporting, with ongoing reviews to address these obstacles.
