Endicott, NY: what USGS's seismic model says

USGS's ASCE 7-16 seismic design model - the same standard building codes use - places Endicott in Seismic Design Category B: Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Rank it against the rest of the country and Endicott sits at the 32th percentile for seismic hazard among 4,875 US cities.

Where Endicott sits in New York

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.054g, short-period spectral response 0.113g, 1-second spectral response 0.045g. Among 170 New York cities in this dataset, Endicott ranks 165 for seismic hazard, the 3th percentile within the state. About 13,199 people live in Endicott, New York.

What a retrofit costs in Endicott

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for New York. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

Earthquake insurance for a Endicott home

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Endicott address.
