Multifamily properties with three or more units need to comply with SB 721. In addition,
Homeowners Association (HOA) residences must comply with SB 326 (also known as California’s “Balcony Law”). All buildings designed for human use need to comply with the law regardless of when they were built.
For more information on the current Balcony Law, consult the Davis-Stirling Act. You can find details on balcony maintenance and repairs
here, and information on elevated wooden structure inspections
