I am surprised that they can get away with not doing the seismic upgrade, despite there being no change of use. It has to be un-reinforced masonry, right? Not the sort of place I'd want to be when the big one hits...
Then you don't want to be near most of the old buildings in downtown, there are so many buildings in the city that haven't been reinforced. I know the hotels on Broadway all un-reinforced because the renovations done to a number of those buildings were all cosmetic.

I believe the Jackson Tower is not reinforced.
