Benicia, CA - July 2, 2024 - The deadline for compliance with SB-326 and SB-721, California's Balcony Laws, is rapidly approaching. With only six months remaining until January 1, 2025, it is crucial for property managers and homeowners associations to take immediate action to ensure properties meet the new safety regulations for exterior elevated elements (EEEs) such as balconies, decks, and stairways.
Understanding the Laws
SB-326 requires condominium associations to conduct visual inspections of EEEs and load-bearing components by a licensed structural engineer or architect. The first inspection must be completed by January 1, 2025, with subsequent inspections every nine years. SB-721 mandates similar inspections for landlords of buildings with three or more multifamily dwelling units, with follow-up inspections every six years.
Why Compliance is Critical
The enforcement of these laws aims to prevent tragedies like the Berkeley balcony collapse by addressing structural failures due to issues such as dry rot. Ensuring compliance enhances safety, protects property values, and reduces liability risks.
