I'm not sure but people (including the officials) seem to have ignored these signs over the last decade. The biggest earthquake was in 1977, when about 1000 people living in the centre died. That made Ceausescu decide to demolish part of the buildings in the city centre and build the huge People's House. I'm not a specialist in constructing engineering or legal issues and I don't know when exactly the measure was adopted (probably in the 1990s). I wonder if this measure has been useful for the population and for the city in general. It seems more useful for real estate agents, who can establish lower rents. Since the fire at the Colectiv pub in November 2015, it seems that the local administration has become more aware of the dangers. Some walls may fall without the help of an earthquake.
