Property teams should not rely on a single deadline for every building.<\/p>\n<p>SB 326, reflected in California Civil Code Section 5551, applies to condominium projects and common interest developments with buildings containing three or more attached multifamily dwelling units. The first inspection was required by January 1, 2025, then every nine years.<\/p>\n<p>SB 721, reflected in California Health and Safety Code Section 17973, applies to exterior elevated elements in certain multifamily buildings and excludes common interest developments. The inspection is required by January 1, 2026, then every six years.<\/p>\n<h2>What exterior elevated elements include<\/h2>\n<p>Exterior elevated elements can include balconies, decks, porches, stairways, walkways, entry structures, supports, railings, and associated waterproofing systems. The relevant statutes focus on elements with walking surfaces more than six feet above ground level that rely in whole or substantial part on wood or wood-based products.<\/p>\n<h2>Who performs inspections?<\/h2>\n<p>Inspection qualifications vary by statute. Qualified professionals may include licensed architects, civil or structural engineers, certain qualified contractors, or certified building inspectors depending on which law applies.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens after inspection?<\/h2>\n<p>Reports identify the condition of inspected elements, expected future performance, unsafe conditions, and recommended repairs or further inspection. Immediate safety concerns can require access restrictions, reporting, and repair work.<\/p>\n<h2>How access vents can help<\/h2>\n<p>V2 balcony inspection vents can provide planned access to concealed balcony or deck assemblies where the project detail calls for that approach.
