The Importance of Balcony Inspections in San Diego

Balcony inspections ensure safe living conditions for San Diego residents in multifamily apartment buildings. California’s humidity, rain, and salt exposure can gradually weaken exterior elevated elements like balconies, stair connections, wood supports, and decks. With regular safety inspections, Balcony1’s licensed inspectors identify signs of wear and compromised waterproofing systems, providing prompt repairs to prevent accidents.

What You Need To Know Know About SB-721 & SB-326 Balcony Regulations

SB-721 inspections apply to multi-unit apartment buildings in California of three or more units, while SB-326 targets condominiums and HOAs. Both laws require periodic inspections of load-bearing components and waterproofing systems, with a compliance deadline of January 1, 2025.

SB-721 mandates follow-up inspections every six years, while SB-326 requires reviews every nine years. As an apartment building owner, failure to comply with the first inspection deadline could result in legal penalties. Schedule your balcony inspection with Balcony1 today to ensure your property meets California’s safety standards by the new year.
