Seismic retrofit in Sierra Madre
Sierra Madre is an independent San Gabriel foothills city; nearly all parcels sit in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and the city has one of the region's most stringent oak-tree ordinances.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon's rim.
He wasn't the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily's contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily's beads.
That's what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner's real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That's our vibe too.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Mandatory retrofits in Sierra Madre primarily apply to multi-family soft-story buildings built before 1978, as outlined by Ordinance 183893. Single-family homes in ZIP 91024 are generally not mandated, but given the hillside and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone overlays, voluntary retrofits enhance safety.
