Magnitude 2.8 earthquake jolts Southern California

LA Times  

A magnitude 2.8 earthquake jolted the Los Angeles area Monday morning, sending weak shaking from its epicenter in Alhambra. Officials in Alhambra, with a population of around 82,000; and Monterey Park, where about 60,000 people live, said earlier this year their cities haven’t imposed mandatory retrofit ordinances for soft-story apartment buildings. In South Pasadena, with a population of 26,000, building officials said earlier this year the city has no plans to create an inventory of soft-story apartment buildings or consider mandatory retrofits. More than a half-dozen cities in Southern California require soft-story apartment buildings to be retrofitted — Los Angeles, Torrance, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Culver City, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
