Protect your residents
If you own a multi-family property in California, your balcony inspection deadlines have already passed, January 1, 2025 for condos and HOAs under SB-326 and January 1, 2026 for apartments under SB-721. Any Imperial County property that’s still uninspected is out of compliance and needs to act to identify and repair structural damage before it escalates.
Balcony1 draws on 20 years of industry experience to make balcony inspections in Imperial County, CA, as smooth and stress-free as possible for property owners.
Our licensed inspectors use non-invasive testing methods to evaluate every structural element, catching signs of wear to repair issues before they get worse. All California balcony inspections conclude with a full report stamped by a structural engineer, serving as proof of compliance to help you avoid fines and legal consequences.
Every week uninspected adds to your exposure. Contact Balcony1 to schedule your Imperial County balcony inspection and get back into compliance.
Imperial County sits in California’s southeastern desert corner, where some of the state’s most extreme heat, sitting well over 100 degrees through much of the year, along with intense sun and dry conditions, steadily wears down balcony waterproofing, load-bearing supports, and railings.
As exterior elevated elements deteriorate, the risk of structural failure increases, putting your residents in danger.
With routine EEE inspections, Balcony1 spots these issues early, the same reason owners across neighboring Riverside County stay on top of theirs.
California’s balcony inspection laws (SB-721 and SB-326) set two deadlines that have now passed: January 1, 2026 for apartments under SB-721 (extended from 2025 under AB 2579) and January 1, 2025 for condos and HOAs under SB-326. These regulations were created to prevent dangerous balcony collapses.California’s balcony inspection laws (SB-721 and SB-326) require multi-family property owners to have their balconies inspected by January 1, 2025. These regulations were created to prevent dangerous balcony collapses, protecting residents while preventing serious property damage.
SB-721 applies to apartment buildings with three or more units, while SB-326 covers condos and HOA properties. Re-inspections are required every six years for apartments under SB-721 and every nine years for condos and HOAs under SB-326.
Now that both deadlines have passed, a non-compliant property owner may be subject to fines of $100 to $500 per day, legal issues, and liability if an accident occurs on the property. Balcony1 will conduct a thorough balcony inspection in Imperial County to ensure your property meets these standards, avoiding the risks and costs of non-compliance.
