The Building Occupancy Resumption Program (BORP) is an award-winning program of the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, developed in cooperation with SEAONC, BOMA, and AIA. BORP allows building owners to precertify private post-earthquake inspection of their buildings by qualified licensed engineers upon acceptance of a written inspection program. The BORP subcommittee reviews and recommends approval of written inspection programs; develops BORP guidelines, training programs, and other informative materials; and promotes BORP participation through seminars and newsletter articles.
