What Santa Monica does
to a wine cellar cooling unit.

About 400 soft-story buildings of more than two stories and fewer than 16 units, plus some 150 with 16 or more units, were sent notices in the fall of 2017.

Roughly 100 unreinforced masonry buildings on the list carried a deadline of August 2019 to finish their retrofits.

At NOAA's Santa Monica Pier station the average high peaks at just 70.0°F in September, and a 90-degree afternoon comes only about once every two years.

On the water

On the coast a hurricane can cut power for days, and a sealed cellar with its door kept shut holds its temperature far longer than one that is opened to check on it, so owners move only the most valuable bottles and leave the rest in the closed room.

Closet and stair cellars

Every opening of a small cellar's door swaps a large share of its air, and a door without a sealed threshold lets the house's warmth in all day, so weatherstripping and a door sweep come before anything inside the unit.

Mixed housing

Where the older half of a mixed block keeps its cellars downstairs, a basement cellar may share air with a furnace room, and a path left open around ducts and pipes lets warm air in, so the room check looks for gaps wherever something crosses the cellar wall.
