Balcony & Deck Compliance Made Simple for Los Angeles Property Owners
Compliance guidance and advisory services for balcony and deck safety and SB-326 and SB-721 inspections, reports, and next steps — without guesswork or unnecessary costs.
Balcony Compliance Is Confusing — and the Stakes Are High
California’s balcony safety laws require property owners and HOA boards to take action — often with limited guidance and tight timelines. Inspection reports can be technical, estimates can vary widely, and the pressure to act quickly can lead to costly decisions.
Many owners ask the same questions: What’s actually required? Are these repairs reasonable? And who can we trust to guide us without pushing unnecessary work?
That’s Where Balcony & Deck Advisors Comes In
We act as an independent compliance advisor, helping you understand inspection findings, evaluate repair options, and compare qualified estimates — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Our role isn’t to sell construction. It’s to help you make informed, defensible decisions that protect your property, your residents, and your budget.

Our Process
1. Share Your Property Information
Upload your inspection report, plans, photos, or compliance notice. If you’re still preparing for an inspection, we can help you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
We review the materials to understand your property type, scope, and applicable SB-326 or SB-721 requirements.
2. Review Findings & Compliance Options
We help you interpret inspection findings and identify realistic paths forward — including repair vs. retrofit considerations, sequencing, and common red flags to watch for.
Our role is to provide clarity, not to push a predetermined solution.
3. Compare Qualified Estimates & Next Steps
When repairs or retrofits are needed, we help coordinate multiple qualified estimates so you can compare scope, cost, and approach side-by-side.
This gives HOA boards and property owners the documentation and confidence needed to make informed, defensible decisions.
Ready to Get Clarity on Your Project?
In some cases, Balcony & Deck Advisors may submit an estimate for repair work. Property owners are encouraged to review multiple qualified bids before making a decision.

Common Questions About Balcony & Deck Compliance
If you’re like most property owners or HOA board members, you probably have questions before taking the next step. Here are a few we hear most often.
Do we need to comply with SB-326 or SB-721?
SB-326 generally applies to condominium and HOA-governed buildings, while SB-721 applies to multi-family apartment buildings with three or more units. The specific requirements depend on your property type, age, and balcony conditions.
What happens after a balcony inspection?
After an inspection, property owners typically receive a report outlining observed conditions and recommended actions. The next steps can vary widely — from monitoring and maintenance to repairs or retrofits.
Do all inspection findings require immediate repairs?
Not necessarily. Some items may require prompt attention, while others may be recommended or phased over time depending on severity and risk.
Can you help us compare repair estimates?
Yes. When repair work is needed, we help coordinate and review multiple qualified estimates so you can compare scope, pricing, and approach with clarity.
Are you inspectors or engineers?
We provide compliance guidance, inspection coordination, and repair advisory services. When required, inspections and engineering evaluations are performed by appropriately licensed professionals.
