505B.5 Removal from Inventory. After all of the retrofit work required by this chapter and Chapter 5C has been completed in any building to the satisfaction of the Building Official and a Certificate of Final Completion and Occupancy has been issued in accordance with San Francisco Building Code Section 109, or after a final inspection of building demolition work has been made, or if the Building Official finds that no retrofit work is required, the Building Official shall remove that building from the inventory list of potentially hazardous unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings required by Section 8877(a) of the California Government Code. The Building Official shall thereupon cause to be filed with the Assessor-Recorder’s Office a release of any notice or Abatement Order recorded under Section 505B.3 or 505B.4. Additionally, the Department shall furnish to each owner upon satisfactory completion of a retrofit a sign, on a standard Department form, of the same size as that required by California Government Code Section 8875.8, stating “This building has been seismically retro-fitted to reduce the risk of death or injury in the event of a major earthquake pursuant to Chapters 5B and 5C of the San Francisco Existing Building Code.” The sign shall also indicate the retrofit procedure used and shall bear the signature of the Building Official. The posting of the sign shall be at the option of the owner.
