Balcony / SB721 Inspection

SB721 Balcony Inspection

A multifamily property owner needed SB721-compliant inspection of the building's balconies and elevated walkways, with a stamped report and a clear path for any required repairs.

Compliance deadline, hidden conditions

California SB721 requires inspection of exterior elevated elements by a qualified professional. The owner needed certainty about the structural condition of load-bearing balconies — including conditions concealed behind finishes — before the compliance deadline.

Inspect, document, specify

We inspected the building's exterior elevated elements against SB721 / SB326 requirements, evaluating load-bearing components and waterproofing.

Findings were documented in a stamped report identifying the condition of each element and any items requiring repair.

Where repairs were needed, we specified the structural fix so the owner could move directly to construction.
