The easy way to handle SB 326 and SB 721 Inspections and Repairs
California Senate Bills 326 and 721, also known as the "Balcony Bill," was signed into law in 2018 and took effect on January 1, 2020. This bill requires regular inspections of balconies, decks, and other exterior elevated elements in condominiums, apartment buildings, and other multi-family residential properties.
