SB 326 & SB 721
Deck Inspections & Repairs
Ensuring Deck Safety
Complying with California Senate Bills 326 and 721.
In the wake of balcony and deck failures causing numerous injuries annually, California Senate Bills 326 and 721 were enacted to safeguard against such tragedies. Following a 2015 balcony collapse claiming six lives and injuring seven others, this law mandates inspections of Elevated Exterior Elements (EEE), including decks, walkways, and balconies, in condominium associations with three or more units.
