About: California Bill SB721, also known as the "Balcony Inspections and Repairs Act," is a legislative measure that was passed in response to a tragic balcony collapse incident in Berkeley, California, in 2015. The bill was signed into law in 2018 and aims to enhance the safety of residents living in multifamily residential buildings with three or more units.
Under SB721, owners of such buildings are required to conduct regular inspections of specific exterior elevated elements, including balconies, decks, and walkways. These inspections must be carried out by licensed architects, engineers, or contractors to identify any potential hazards or structural deficiencies.
The primary goal of the bill is to prevent accidents and injuries by proactively identifying and addressing safety risks in these elevated structures. It emphasizes the importance of responsible building maintenance and timely repairs to ensure the structural integrity of the examined elements.
