Balcony and Deck Inspections are now the LAW
Without regular inspections and maintenance, balconies are prone to a variety of structural problems and wood decay due to dry rot, termites, long term and regular exposure to moisture, and lack of drying mechanisms.
When left unchecked, the balconies can become high risk and result in a disaster.
The California Senate Bills 326 & 721 (SB 326, SB 721) were developed as a response after a deadly collapse of a balcony in Berkeley, California in June 2015.
SB 721- For apartment buildings, legislation requires any multi-family with three or more (3+) dwelling units to complete an inspection of all Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE) by January 1, 2025, and every 6 years thereafter.
SB326- For Condominium HOA’S, legislation requires an inspection of all Exterior Elevated Elements (EEE) to be completed by January 1, 2025, and every 9 years thereafter.
This ordinance is a pain to say the least……
The laws are complicated, some understand them, and others not so much.
Let Balcony and Deck Advisors help you navigate through the process and get you the BEST price for a Top-Quality Job.
