WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU
State Law:
"Balconies and Elevated Extended Elements Must be Inspected

ABOUT THE LAW
Following tragic fatal balcony collapses in California, the 2023 California Senate Bills SB-326 (for Condominium buildings) and SB-721 (for Apartment buildings) Require all Elevated Exterior Elements -i.e. balconies, decks, staricases- of Buildings with 3 or more Multifamily Dwelling Units to be Professionally Inspected by January 1, 2025, and Every 6 Years thereon. This initial deadline was subsequently extended to January 1, 2026 as per the Assembly Bill AB-2579.
