California’s SB-721 legislation has made balcony safety a critical responsibility for property owners. These laws require regular SB-721 balcony inspections to evaluate exterior elevated elements and prevent structural failures.
LA Building Inspections & Compliance helps property owners meet these requirements with clarity and confidence.
Understanding SB-721 Balcony Inspections
SB-721 applies to multifamily properties with exterior elevated elements such as balconies, decks, stairways, and walkways. These structures are exposed to weather and deterioration, making inspections essential.
What Are Exterior Elevated Elements?
Exterior elevated elements include any raised structure supported above ground level. Over time, moisture intrusion and material decay can compromise structural integrity.
Why Structural Safety Inspections Matter
Structural safety inspections help identify hidden risks before failure occurs. Early detection protects residents, reduces liability, and ensures compliance with California law.
