SB-721 & SB-326 Compliance Rules for California Properties

Rancho Palos Verdes’ exposure to marine air, coastal fog, and seasonal rains can cause wear on balconies, walkways, and deck structures. Left unchecked, wood rot, rust, and moisture penetration can lead to serious safety hazards and liability issues.

 

Our certified inspectors identify these threats early, helping property owners protect their tenants, reduce maintenance costs, and stay ahead of mandated inspection deadlines.

Balcony & Walkway Safety Codes in California

California enacted SB-721 and SB-326 to ensure the safety of elevated outdoor structures like balconies, stairs, decks, and catwalks, particularly in multifamily housing units. Here’s what property owners need to know:

Our Proven Process for Balcony Safety and SB Compliance

Our balcony inspections follow a step-by-step process to uncover hidden damage and get you fully compliant with SB-721 and SB-326. With visual checks, structural testing, and engineer-stamped reports, we handle every detail to save you time and money.

On-Site Review to Identify Visible Structural Concerns

We start with a full visual inspection of all elevated exterior elements: balconies, decks, walkways, and stairways. We look for common issues like surface erosion, salt corrosion on metal components, and hidden water intrusion from coastal humidity.

Structural Integrity Testing and Load Analysis

Next, we use advanced tools like borescopes, probes, and moisture meters to assess the condition of joists, beams, fasteners, and waterproofing systems. We evaluate whether your structure meets load-bearing safety standards.

Comprehensive Compliance Report with Repair Plan

At the end of our inspection, you’ll get a full compliance report stamped by a structural engineer. It includes photos, findings, and a breakdown of any necessary repairs to bring your property up to code. This report serves as your official proof of SB-721 or SB-326 compliance and can be shared with city officials, HOAs, or insurance providers if needed.
