Keep residents safe
If you own a condominium or multifamily property in San Mateo County, the deadline to inspect your balconies, decks, and other exterior elevated elements is approaching fast. Under California’s SB-721 and SB-326 laws, all qualifying properties must complete their initial balcony inspections by January 1, 2026 (recently extended from 2025).
At Balcony1, we provide certified balcony inspections in San Mateo County and across the state of California including Carson, Ranchos Palos Verdes, and Monrovia, helping property owners meet these legal safety requirements on time. Our inspections are designed to detect structural risks before they turn into costly repairs or safety issues.
Balcony1 has inspected thousands of balconies throughout California from San Mateo to San Diego. We bring this wide-ranging experience to every local project, ensuring your property is evaluated with care, precision, and full legal compliance.
Balconies in San Mateo County are frequently exposed to fog, moisture, sun, and salt air from the Bay, all of which can degrade structural integrity over time. When waterproofing systems fail, the underlying wood and load-bearing supports can begin to rot often without visible signs.
Regular balcony inspections are essential to catch early warning signs like wood decay, corrosion, or structural weakening. Our expert inspectors identify these risks and recommend targeted exterior elevated element repairs to keep your building safe and compliant.
SB-721 applies to multifamily rental buildings with three or more units, while SB-326 applies to condominiums and other common-interest developments. Both laws require an inspection of exterior elevated elements (EEEs) including balconies, decks, landings, catwalks, and walkways that are more than 6 feet off the ground.
If your building is located in San Mateo, Daly City, Redwood City, Burlingame, or elsewhere in San Mateo County, it’s important to complete your inspection soon. Balcony1 will guide you through the entire process.
