Balcony & Deck Compliance Repairs for SB 326 and SB 721 Properties

Last Updated: March 2026

Protect Your Property. Safeguard Your Residents. Stay Compliant with California SB 721 & SB 326.

Led by Gordon Myers, Licensed General Contractor

LA Construction Consultants helps Los Angeles property owners, HOA boards, and property managers move from balcony and exterior elevated element inspection findings to real repair scopes, budgets, permits, and completed work. We coordinate with qualified licensed inspection professionals and design professionals where required, then help carry the project through construction and closeout.

SB 410 Update for HOA and Condo Properties

Beginning January 1, 2026, SB 410 adds new requirements that affect how condominium associations document and manage SB 326 inspections. In addition to the existing inspection requirement, the inspector’s report now includes a first-page summary with project-level details such as the number of units, the number of exterior elevated elements, the number inspected, and whether any inspected elements were identified as an immediate safety threat. The most recent report also becomes part of the disclosure package in a condo sale, and the association must retain these reports as official records for two inspection cycles.

Our mission? To protect lives, preserve your investment, and make compliance simple and stress-free for you.

Why Compliance Matters—Now More Than Ever

After tragedies like the 2015 Berkeley balcony collapse, California passed strict laws to prevent future disasters. Today, inspections are not just required by law—they’re essential to protect your residents, your reputation, and your bottom line.

Falling behind on inspections can expose you to steep fines, legal liability, and even insurance issues. Acting early keeps you in control—and gives you peace of mind.

What We Help With:

  • Inspection report review
  • Repair scope clarification
  • Budgeting and proposal development
  • Plan and permit coordination
  • Exterior elevated element repairs
  • Compliance-oriented construction documentation


Who Must Comply?

You must schedule an inspection if your building:

  • Has three or more residential units, and
  • Features balconies, decks, stairways, or walkways over six feet off the ground, built with wood or wood-based materials.

Deadlines Are Approaching—Don’t Risk Waiting

  • SB 721 (Apartments): First inspection deadline — January 1, 2026. Inspections required every 6 years thereafter.
  • SB 326 (Condominiums): First inspection deadline — January 1, 2026. Inspections required every 9 years thereafter.


Proactive inspections help you avoid last-minute rushes, fines, or worse—being flagged as noncompliant when trying to refinance, sell, or insure your property.
