What Apartment Owners Risk Without SB721 Compliance
$500/Day Fines
Daily fines from California cities for non-compliant properties. These accumulate fast and cannot be waived retroactively.
Tenant Injury Liability
If a tenant is injured on an uninspected balcony, SB721 non-compliance is direct evidence of negligence. Personal liability can be devastating.
Lost Rental Income
Cities can order balconies closed until inspected. Tenants in affected units may withhold rent or break leases, costing you far more than the inspection.
