Ensure compliance with SB-721 & 326
SB 326 required initial inspections by January 1, 2025, while SB 721 required initial inspections by January 1, 2026. These laws require inspections of qualifying exterior elevated elements for covered multifamily apartment buildings, condominium associations, and common interest developments in California. Legal compliance is mandatory for covered properties, and failure to complete required inspections or repairs may result in civil penalties in some cases. Balcony1 provides professional balcony inspections in Santa Clarita, CA, to help your property address current safety and legal requirements.
