What is SB 721 California Law?

 Senate Bill 721, also known as “the balcony law,” was issued after a tragic event in Berkeley, California. It is aimed at protecting residents and tenants by enforcing compliance with safety standards.

 This law implies that every property owner, manager, or landlord must arrange for a balcony inspection with a certified architect, builder, or engineer if their property meets all the following criteria:

  1. It’s a multifamily building with three or more dwelling units.
  2. It is two or more stores in height.
  3. It has exterior structure elements elevated more than six feet above ground level.
  4. Those elements’ safety and reliability depend on wooden structures.

Please note that SB 721 only applies to properties that are NOT a part of a condo association or HOA. In other cases, an SB 326 inspection must be scheduled instead.

Our SB 721 Inspection Services include

  • Structural integrity assessment of all the rails, stairs, treads, risers, stringers, and other exterior elevated elements
  • Thorough examination of load-bearing components for the signs of dry rot, fungus, deterioration, decay, or improper alteration
  • Inspection of associated waterproofing elements, including flashing, membranes, coatings, and sealants
  • Report with photos and description detailing the condition of every elevated exterior element and their projected service life
  • Recommendations for urgent and non-priority repairs, and any additional inspections you may need

Our SB 721 Balcony Inspection Process


If you don’t timely fix the issues that pose an immediate threat to the safety of the occupants, or fail to complete non-emergency repairs within 210 days after you receive the report, a civil penalty fee can be anywhere between $100 and $500 for each day of delay. By hiring a reputable contractor, like Good Life Construction, you can rest assured that all the balcony repairs, deck repairs, or other works on your exterior elevated elements will be completed on schedule and in strict compliance with the law’s requirements.
