What does seismic risk mean?
We saw that most people are looking to rent in the center of Bucharest, but at the same time they are looking for relatively new properties.
It’s very difficult to find NEW real estate in the CENTER, because it was built from the Center towards the outside!
To clarify what a seismic risk for a building means, we leave you an article below:
Class I = Emergency 1
– Buildings included in this class present a major danger of collapse in the event of an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 7 degrees on the Richter scale. This generally includes buildings constructed before 1977.
– It is not absolutely necessary for a building classified as seismic risk class 1 to collapse, but certain buildings due to their location, generally in crowded areas, often having more than 6 floors, sometimes also commercial spaces on the ground floor, are considered to represent a public danger and their reconsolidation is mandatory.
Class II = Emergency 2
– There are buildings for which the possibility of collapse in the event of an earthquake is reduced, but a major earthquake can affect partitioning elements, stairs, etc. without endangering the strength structure of the building.
Class III = Emergency 3 – This category includes buildings that may suffer minor damage in the event of an earthquake. Thus, plaster can fall, cracks and fissures can appear in the walls, without endangering the lives of tenants.
No Risk = F.R.
– Buildings that have been reviewed and not assigned any seismic risk rating.
