California Senate Bill 721

California’s SB 721 requires qualifying multifamily residential buildings with three or more units to undergo inspections of exterior elevated elements, including balconies, decks, stairways, landings, and walkways. The law generally covers structures located more than six feet above ground that rely substantially on wood or wood-based load-bearing components. These inspections help identify deterioration, water intrusion, wood rot, and other conditions that could affect structural safety. Property owners must address required repairs and complete recurring inspections at least once every six years.

California Senate Bill 326

California’s SB 326 requires qualifying condominium communities with three or more units to complete periodic inspections of exterior elevated elements, including balconies, decks, stairways, landings, and elevated walkways. The inspection evaluates load-bearing components and associated waterproofing systems for structural deterioration, water intrusion, and other conditions that could affect resident safety. The HOA is responsible for compliance, and inspections must be performed by a licensed structural engineer or architect at least once every nine years.

Understanding California SB 326 Requirements

SB 326 applies to California condominium communities with three or more units. It requires periodic inspections of qualifying exterior elevated elements to identify structural deterioration, water intrusion, and other conditions that could affect resident safety.

Inspections must evaluate the load-bearing components and associated waterproofing systems of qualifying structures. They are completed by a licensed structural engineer, civil engineer, or architect and must be repeated at least once every nine years.

If an inspection identifies damage or unsafe conditions, the HOA is responsible for coordinating the recommended repairs and maintaining the inspection report as part of the association’s records. Our team can help complete the required repair and reconstruction work so the property can move toward compliance.
