Managing 3 Doors or More? Rogall + Co Simplifies Compliance for 2025! Our team specializes in navigating regulations for SB-326 and SB-721.
What is SB326 and SB721:
California's SB-326 and SB-721 laws aim to enhance safety in multifamily buildings, protecting residents by requiring regular inspections of decks, balconies, and elevated walkways in properties with three or more units. Starting January 1, 2025, all raised structures over six feet must be assessed for weight capacity, structural integrity, and damage. Management is required to retain inspection reports for two cycles, with any necessary repairs reported to state and local authorities and completed promptly. After repairs, a follow-up inspection and updated report are also mandatory to ensure compliance and ongoing resident safety.
SB-326 and SB-721 inspections are essential for California HOAs, condos, and apartment buildings because they address safety and compliance, focusing on structural integrity, specifically of "exterior elevated elements" (like balconies, decks, and stairways). These laws are intended to prevent tragic structural failures by ensuring that these features are routinely inspected, repaired, and well-maintained.
