Earthquakes can exert immense force on structures, and balconies are particularly vulnerable due to their elevated position and exposure to external elements. Neglecting their maintenance and reinforcement may lead to severe consequences during seismic events, endangering occupants, causing significant property damage, and possible loss of life.
Do you have a building with three or more separate living spaces? If you do, it’s now a legal requirement to inspect and fix any balconies, walkways, stairways, and decks that are outside the building. This rule comes from two laws called SB 721 and SB 326. Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place for help.
SB-721 and SB-326 were created to make sure that balconies, decks, patios, stairways, and walkways in buildings with multiple apartments or a mix of residential and commercial spaces are safe for the public to use.
According to SB-721, if you have an apartment building with three or more living units, you need to have a thorough inspection of all the outside elevated structures (like balconies and stairways) done by January 1, 2025, and then every 6 years after that.
For condominiums and buildings managed by homeowner associations (HOAs), SB-326 requires an inspection of all the outside elevated structures to be completed by January 1, 2025, and then every 9 years after that.
