What HOA Boards Face Without SB326 Compliance
$500/Day Fines
California cities can impose daily fines on non-compliant HOAs. These fines accumulate quickly and cannot be waived retroactively.
Personal Board Liability
Board members can be personally sued if a resident is injured on an uninspected balcony. SB326 non-compliance is direct evidence of negligence.
Insurance Cancellation
Many HOA insurance carriers are now requiring SB326 compliance documentation. Non-compliance can result in policy cancellation or premium increases.
All Exterior Elevated Elements (EEEs)
SB326 requires inspection of all EEEs — any structure that extends beyond the building exterior and is elevated 6 feet or more above grade.
- Balconies and decks
- Stairways and landings
- Walkways and breezeways
- Railings and guardrails
- Structural supports and connections
- Waterproofing and drainage systems
- Flashing and sealants
