Why Are SB721 & SB326 Important?
California law requires building owners to have balconies, decks, walkways, and stairways inspected by a licensed professional. If any hazardous conditions are identified, corrective action must be taken promptly. Addressing these issues in a timely manner can help prevent accidents, such as collapses or falls, and ensure the long-term safety of the balcony. Compliance is not optional—California law mandates balcony inspections. Avoid penalties and legal risks by calling DrBalcony now!
