Stump the Stammtisch: UMB (unreinforced masonry buildings)

Where readers ask, and we try to answer:

“How can I find out if a building in San Francisco is made of unreinforced masonry?

Does the city have a list of such buildings?

How can I find out if a building was red tagged after the 1989 earthquake or damaged in the earthquake?

Thank you.”-BGD

We’re getting pretty good readership, and a good regular cast of characters, so I’m thinking you’ll get a good response BGD.

[Update: In record time the Stammtisch came through on this one, but I’m just updating now. Click here to see your answers, and thanks for asking.]
