What is SB 326?
SB 326, also known as the California Balcony Inspection Law, was signed into law to increase safety in condominium communities. The law requires visual inspections of elevated exterior elements such as balconies, decks, walkways, and stairways on condo properties with three or more units.
The goal? Catch signs of deterioration before they lead to structural failure, injuries, or major legal liabilities. Inspections must be performed by a qualified professional, and findings must be reported to the HOA and, if necessary, local building departments.
What We Inspect
Our SB 326 inspections in Los Angeles cover all critical areas required by California law.
Balconies & Decks
We check for signs of sagging, structural wear, or wood damage caused by sun, water, or pests.
Exterior Walkways & Stairways
These heavily used areas often suffer unnoticed wear and tear. We make sure they’re safe and secure.
Wood & Metal Components
Any exposed or concealed framing is checked for deterioration, corrosion, or weakening fasteners.
Moisture Intrusion & Corrosion
Water damage is a silent destroyer. We inspect for moisture penetration that can rot wood or rust metal over time.

We don’t just inspect—we help guide your community through every step of the SB 326 compliance process.
