Up in California’s remote northeast corner, Modoc County’s high-desert plateau brings hard freezes, heavy snow load, and big seasonal swings that stress wood balconies and decks, which makes proactive inspection the key to preventing safety hazards and preserving your property.

Taking action now keeps your property up to code with SB-721 and SB-326, the same reason owners across neighboring Lassen County stay current.
California’s balcony inspection laws, SB-721 and SB-326, were established to prevent accidents following the tragic 2015 Berkeley balcony collapse. These laws require thoroughly evaluating exterior elevated elements in multi-family properties and apartment buildings with three or more units. These regulations focus on assessing the safety of key components like structural supports, waterproofing systems, and railings to ensure that any deterioration is addressed before it jeopardizes tenant safety.
SB-721 required initial inspections by January 1, 2026 (extended from 2025 under AB 2579), now passed, with follow-ups every six years. For condominiums and HOA properties, SB-326 had an earlier deadline of January 1, 2025, also passed, with inspections every nine years.
Now that both deadlines have passed, non-compliance can bring fines of $100 to $500 per day. Inspections in Modoc County must be performed by a licensed civil or structural engineer or certified professional to meet state and local regulations.
