Why Comply with Inspection
SB 721 & SB 326?
​The new laws SB721 and SB326 for HOAs describe an Exterior Elevated Element to mean, “the following types of structures, including their supports and railings: BALCONIES, DECKS, PORCHES, STAIRWAYS, WALKWAYS, and entry structures that extend beyond exterior walls of the building and which have a walking surface that is elevated more than six feet above ground level, are designed for human occupancy or use, and rely in whole or in substantial part on wood or wood-based products for structural support stability of the exterior elevated element.
​
Building owners can avoid costly legal liability for deaths, injuries, and damage caused by earthquakes and rotten wood. Ensure your building is a safe place to live and avoid penalties.
